2 women hurt when truck "violently" backs into them in Commerce City
Two women were injured after Commerce City Police Department says suspects in a pickup truck hit them and then left them both overnight on Thursday. One of the women was seriously hurt.
According to Commerce City PD's Facebook post, the hit-and-run took place late in the 7000 block of Kearney Court, where the two victims were getting out of their SUV when a white Ford F-150 with a couch in the truck bed backed up at a high rate of speed and "violently" hit both of them.
The police department shared surveillance video of the hit-and-run that it says could be disturbing to some viewers, but imperative in its investigation to find the driver.
