DENVER — Police in Aurora are investigating a two-vehicle crash on Tower Road that left two drivers dead early Sunday morning.

The crash happened around 2:16 a.m. near East 40th Avenue on North Tower Road.

The two vehicles — a 2005 Honda sedan and a 2000 Lexus sedan — were occupied by a sole driver and both were pronounced deceased on scene.

Police said the driver of the Honda sedan was speeding northbound on Tower Road when they ran a red light at the E. 40th Ave. intersection and collided with the Lexus in a fiery crash.

The identification of the deceased will be released by the Adams County Coroner’s Office once they have been positively identified and their next-of-kin has been notified.

The intersection was closed for multiple hours as police gathered evidence. They are asking anyone who may have video of the incident to contact them.
