AURORA, CO – A passenger in a sedan was killed early Saturday in a street racing crash on East Alameda Parkway, police said.
The incident occurred at approximately 12:45 a.m. just west of South Chambers Road. Authorities reported that a BMW sedan, driven by 19-year-old Edwin Rosales-Sandoval of Denver, was racing when the driver lost control on a curve.
The vehicle left the roadway, struck a grocery store sign, and rolled over. No other vehicles were involved in the crash. Emergency responders transported Rosales-Sandoval and a 17-year-old female passenger to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. An adult male passenger, whose identity has not been released, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators suspect Rosales-Sandoval was driving under the influence and operating a vehicle with a revoked license due to a prior DUI incident. He was arrested on multiple charges, including vehicular homicide, reckless driving, and DUI. Rosales-Sandoval is currently held on a $75,000 bail and is scheduled for a court appearance on Thursday, according to court records.
The investigation is ongoing.
