A man riding a bicycle on Colfax Avenue Thursday night in Aurora was killed by a vehicle in a hit-and-run crash — and police are trying to identify the vehicle.<\/p>\n
The bicyclist died at the scene near the intersection of Colfax and Kenton Street shortly before midnight, according to an Aurora Police Department post on Twitter.<\/p>\n
The driver of the vehicle did not stop, police said. Police investigators “do not yet know a description of the vehicle or contributing factors.”<\/p>\n
