Crash investigators believe the victim was hit by two vehicles that never stopped or reported anything to police. Investigators believe one of those vehicles is a dark-colored Chevrolet Colorado pickup truck 2004-2012. This truck could have damage to the front, and the Medina Alert was activated for it. 

"Members of the CRASH Team will work diligently and utilize all available investigatory resources available to them to locate the vehicles that were involved in this collision," said Sergeant Mike Avrech in the press release, who oversees the Fort Collins Police CRASH Team.

Anyone with information can call Officer Dave Kaes at 970-416 2229.
