Hit-and-run driver injures Denver cyclist, police searching for suspects

Police are searching for the driver in a Denver hit-and-run crash that seriously injured a cyclist last week, according to the department.

Denver officers responded to the hit-and-run at North Washington Street and East 20th Avenue at about 6:10 p.m. on July 13, according to a crime alert from the police department. That’s near Benedict Fountain Park, on the edge of Denver’s North Capitol Hill and Five Points neighborhoods.

An unknown driver headed south on Washington struck a biker crossing 20th, causing “serious bodily injury,” and fled the scene, police stated in the alert.

The vehicle is described as a dark-colored SUV and was possibly a Jeep, police said. It may have damage to the driver’s side.

Anyone with information about the crash is asked to contact Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867. Tipsters can remain anonymous and could be eligible for a cash reward.
