Woman In Critical Condition After Getting Struck By Underage Driver

AURORA, Colo. (CBS4) - A woman is fighting for her life after getting hit by an underage, unlicensed driver.

The incident happened early Saturday morning at East Mississippi Avenue and the Interstate 225 off-ramp in Aurora.

A 15-year-old boy was behind the wheel of the red Dodge Charger with two teenage girls inside. Aurora police say he was going more than 80 miles per hour. He sped off when an officer tried to pull him over, went airborne after hitting a median and slammed into a Jeep Liberty.

The 29-year-old woman in the Jeep was taken to the hospital and is listed in critical condition.

Drugs or alcohol are not suspected in the crash but the young driver will likely face charges.

No names have been released.
