AURORA, Colo. – A bicyclist was killed following a crash in Aurora Thursday evening, according to police.
The crash happened at East Hampden Avenue and South Kalispell Street at around 9:12 p.m., police said, when a black Ford Mustang traveling west on East Hampden Avenue crashed with a man riding a bicycle as he was riding north on South Kalispell Street.
