AURORA | Police say a man driving a stolen motorcycle collided with a car near midnight Saturday, killing the driver and seriously injuring a passenger on the bike.

Investigators said the bike was headed west on East Iliff Avenue at 11:49 p.m. Saturday when it collided with an eastbound Honda CR-V turning onto South Idalia Street.

“The adult male motorcycle driver and the adult female motorcycle passenger were both transported to area hospitals,” Aurora police spokesperson Katie Fischer said in a statement. “The male driver was later pronounced deceased, and the female passenger remains in stable condition.”

Police said the driver of the Honda fled the scene, and the car was located a “short distance away unoccupied.”

Neither the motorcycle driver nor his passenger were identified.
