WESTMINSTER, Colo. — A fatal auto-pedestrian crash is under investigation Friday morning, according to the Westminster Police Department.
It happened just after 6:30 a.m. Friday in the area of Federal Boulevard and 96th Ave. Westminster police officers got reports of a crash involving two drivers and a pedestrian.
When Westminster police made it to the scene of the crash, they found a 39-year-old man lying in the road. They attempted CPR, but the man was pronounced dead. The Adams County Coroner's Office will release his identity once family is notified.
Westminster police said the preliminary investigation found the pedestrian walked out into traffic and was hit by two drivers.
Both drivers stayed at the scene of the crash and are cooperating with the investigation, Westminster police said. Neither alcohol or drugs appear to be a factor in the crash.
Southbound Federal Boulevard shut down between 96th Ave. and Green Court. Morning commuters were advised to find alternative routes.
Traffic was diverted to the west, according to Denver7 Traffic Expert Jayson Luber. Lowell Boulevard is a good way to get around it, Luber said. Drivers could also go a little bit east to Elm Street to get around the shutdown.
Southbound Federal Boulevard between 96th Ave. and Green Court reopened around 9:51 a.m. Friday, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT).
The crash investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information about the crash is asked to call the Westminster Police Department at 303-658-4360.
