A man walking in the vicinity of 105th Avenue and Tower Road was struck and killed by a vehicle late on Friday night, according to the Commerce City Police Department.
A post on Facebook late Friday said the driver, a female, remained on the scene and is cooperating with the investigation.
“We don’t know why he was in the roadway,” said Joanna Small, a public information officer with the department.
The Adams County Coroner will release the name of the man who died pending his identification.
Someone posting under the name of Kristie Huhn left a comment on the Facebook post stating that her son was the individual who died in the accident.
“We were visiting my daughter from out of state for Christmas. He has never been here before. He just wanted to go for a walk,” Huhn wrote. A call made to Huhn’s number was not answered.
