On October 20, 2009 at approximately 9:12 p.m., Colorado State Troopers responded to a fatal crash on eastbound Iliff Avenue and Quebec Street. A white 1993 Chevrolet Geo was traveling eastbound on E. Iliff Ave through the green light at Quebec.

Two pedestrians were running northbound across Iliff Ave east of the intersection. The driver observed one of the pedestrians and slowed. The second pedestrian entered the right lane and was struck by the Chevrolet.
