One person died and two others were hospitalized after a fatal, single-vehicle crash in southeast Aurora on Sunday night.

Aurora officers responded to reports of a crash at East Pinewood Drive and South Wheatlands Parkway just after 9 p.m. Sunday, according to a post from the police department on X, the social media platform previously known as Twitter.

The intersection is located in Aurora’s Wheatlands neighborhood, across from the Wheatlands Community Park.

When officers arrived on scene, they found three victims. One person died from their injuries at the scene, and paramedics transported two others to the hospital, police stated on social media. The Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office will identify the victim.

The crash investigation team determined that a Mazda SUV carrying two adult, male passengers and an adult, male driver was traveling northbound on South Wheatlands Parkway at a high rate of speed when it struck the median and rolled several times, coming to rest on the sidewalk, according to a Monday morning update from the Aurora Police Department.

An 18-year-old passenger was ejected from the vehicle during the crash and died on scene, the update stated. The other two men were transported to the hospital with minor injuries.

The intersection was closed for nearly 5 hours during the crash investigation. East Pinewood Drive and South Wheatlands Parkway reopened around 2 a.m. Monday, police said.

Editor’s note: This story was updated to correct the number of individuals involved with the crash. The Aurora Police Department initially reported four individuals were involved in the crash, but a later release stated only three people were in the car when it crashed.
