Collisions and Substance Concerns in Aurora
While this incident did not result in major injuries, even low-impact collisions can cause pain, strain, and potential long-term issues for those involved. Intersections like East Mississippi Avenue and South Dayton Street are busy corridors in Aurora, where the mix of local traffic and commuters increases the likelihood of crashes—especially during the afternoon rush.
The added detail of a marijuana odor at the scene raises further safety concerns. Driving under the influence of any substance, even legally permitted ones, poses significant risks to all road users. Authorities in Colorado continue to emphasize that impairment—whether from alcohol, marijuana, or other drugs—can reduce reaction time and decision-making behind the wheel.
