Hit & Run in Denver

It's rare for cycling accidents to make the news in Denver. It is even more rare for one to be a hit & run:

No security cam videos, extremely vague vehicle description..... a very tough situation overall.

My condolences to the family of the cyclist.

Here is the Post article from yesterday, with the ubiquitous comments trailing.

And an excellent and personal bio of the victim - on the front page:

Definitely had a case of "that could have been me" reading this sad story yesterday...

A very sad story.

DP story reads that he was riding east on 46th .. does anyone know this area - is there a stop sign for traffic on Josephine (i.e. did the driver of car possibly run a stop or did he)?

It's a stop light. Here's a link to the street view: https://goo.gl/maps/ukTQ

46th Ave is the one that runs under the freeway.

I see - so one of them didn't see (or ignored) the stoplight is a good guess.

Even more tragic is that the driver ran - probably will not find them since it happened so early in the AM.
