Aurora, CO (January 25, 2026) — On Friday evening, a three-vehicle crash on Interstate 225 in Aurora killed one man and temporarily closed northbound lanes.

Police said one man was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Another driver suffered minor injuries, while the third did not require medical attention.

Investigators are working with the coroner to determine whether the fatality resulted from a medical episode or injuries from the crash.
