Colorado pedestrian struck by 2 vehicles, police seek driver who fled
The Brighton Police Department is asking for the public's help in finding a car and identifying its driver after a 22-year-old man was found lying in a roadway Friday evening.
The man was hit by two different vehicles north of the city near the intersection of North Main Street (Weld County Road 27) and Weld County Road 2 1/2, according to BPD investigators.
The first vehicle to hit him was likely a Honda built in the early 2000s which should have damaged to its front end and driver's side mirror. That driver left the scene of the crash.
A second driver who did not see the man before hitting him did pull over, stayed at the scene, and cooperated with the investigation.
The pedestrian suffered severe injuries.
