The sheriff's office told CBS News Colorado that the investigation remains open but that it appears Kaminski, 19, may have fallen asleep and struck the man and his dog who were walking southbound on the sidewalk. The dog was rushed to a local veterinary hospital and later died. 

Kaminski was taken into custody and transported to the Douglas County Detention Facility where he was booked on several charges including vehicular homicide, cruelty to animals, reckless driving and weaving.
