A high-speed traffic stop attempt in Aurora, Colorado, ended with a fatal collision. A motorcycle officer clocked a white BMW at 84 miles per hour in a 65 zone on northbound Interstate 225 and tried to stop it. The driver, identified as 25-year-old Don Mai Phan, fled and weaved through traffic, then took the Iliff Avenue exit. At the intersection of South Blackhawk Street the BMW ran a red light and crashed into a red Honda Civic that was making a left turn. The Honda was split in half and its 25-year-old male driver was killed at the scene.

Debris from the crash struck two other stopped vehicles; their occupants were reported unharmed. Phan and a 26-year-old male passenger in the BMW suffered minor injuries and were taken to a hospital. Phan was taken into custody and faces felony counts including vehicular homicide and eluding police, plus misdemeanor charges of reckless driving and speeding. The investigation is ongoing.

If anyone witnessed the BMW’s driving or the crash at South Blackhawk Street and Iliff Avenue, please share what was seen with authorities.
