Crashes during early morning hours are common on busy commuter routes like East Smoky Hill and South Buckley in Aurora, where a mix of residential traffic and school-related travel can contribute to congested intersections. While the cause of Friday’s crash remains under review, it highlights the unpredictability of urban driving environments and the potential for injuries even in seemingly routine traffic situations.
Aurora has experienced a notable uptick in intersection-related collisions in recent years, according to regional traffic reports.
