ARAPAHOE COUNTY, Colo. — One person was killed after a head-on crash early Tuesday morning in which alcohol is suspected and the driver of the vehicles fled the scene, the Colorado State Patrol said.

CSP says a sedan crossed over a median while traveling westbound on East Iliff Avenue at South Quebec Street and slammed head-on into another vehicle about midnight.

The driver of the vehicle traveling westbound died at the scene. He was identified by the Arapahoe County Corner as 41-year-old Jason Soodsma of Aurora.

There were five people in the suspect’s vehicle, CSP said. The driver, identified as 22-year-old Jeremy Brown,  fled the scene but was found a short time later. He was taken into custody and booked into the Arapahoe County Jail.
