Driver formally charged with causing crash that killed Colorado police officer

A Colorado man charged with causing a crash that killed a Golden police officer a week ago was formally charged with felony vehicular homicide and vehicular assault on Thursday. Stephen Geer, a professor at Colorado School of Mines, is also facing misdemeanor charges of assault and driving under the influence.  

Officer Evan Dunn and his partner were investigating a crash on Nov. 7 on the Golden Parkway when police said the 43-year-old failed to notice a vehicle with flashing lights at the scene and his car slammed into a parked vehicle in the median, which hit another vehicle which then slammed into Dunn. Dunn's partner and two others at the scene were also hurt, according to the arrest documents.

Flags flew at half-staff on Wednesday in honor of Dunn's life and service, and law enforcement officers and Denver-area residents lined the procession route from Dunn's memorial service.
