Gabriela Silva Hospitalized in Horrific Hit-and-Run Crash on Blake Street [Denver, CO]

Denver, CO (August 28, 2026) — The family of Gabriela Silva, who remains unconscious in the ICU after a hit-and-run crash on Blake Street, is asking the public to help police identify the driver responsible.

Denver police said a red Lexus sedan struck Silva while she crossed near a crosswalk at Blake Street and 22nd Street shortly after 2 a.m. Sunday. The driver fled the scene without stopping to help.

Silva suffered serious injuries and has remained unconscious in the hospital since the crash. Her family and friends describe her as caring, cautious, and deeply supportive of those around her.

Her loved ones have launched a fundraising effort to help with her recovery and medical expenses. They are also urging anyone who witnessed the crash or has information about the red Lexus to contact Denver police.

Do The Right Thing. Stay. Help. Take Responsibility.

A hit-and-run is not just a crime but a devastating act of cowardice, leaving victims injured, scared, and sometimes fighting for their lives. If you’re involved in a traffic accident, stop immediately. Call 911. Help those who are hurt.

Remember that fleeing the scene only worsens the situation and carries serious legal consequences, including felony charges. Victims deserve accountability and justice.

Hit-and-run crashes can leave victims and families facing devastating physical, emotional, and financial challenges. If you witness a crash, safely document what you can and contact law enforcement. Anyone with information about this incident should come forward to help investigators find the driver.
