Aurora, CO (September 22, 2025) – A two-car collision near the intersection of East Mississippi Avenue and South Imperial Street left three people with injuries on Sunday afternoon. The crash was reported around 1:20 PM, and emergency crews from Aurora Fire and EMS responded swiftly to the scene.
The vehicles involved were identified as a white Toyota Highlander and a silver Honda Accord, both of which sustained moderate damage in the impact. Engine 4, which happened to witness the collision, immediately began checking on those involved while additional units and an ambulance with advanced life support (ALS) were dispatched.
Responders confirmed that three individuals sustained minor injuries. All were evaluated and treated on scene by medical personnel. No hospital transports were immediately reported, and the crash victims were categorized as “green patients,” indicating non-life-threatening injuries.
The intersection remained partially obstructed during the emergency response, as police assisted with traffic control and scene documentation. The cause of the crash remains under investigation, with early indications pointing to possible lane misjudgment or a failure to yield at the intersection.
We extend our best wishes for recovery to the injured individuals and their families.
Minor Injury Crashes and Intersection Safety in Aurora
While this incident resulted in minor injuries, the location and vehicle involvement highlight the common risks drivers face at busy intersections like Mississippi Avenue and Imperial Street. These crashes often occur during daylight hours, when traffic volume is steady and distractions—such as lane changes, phone use, or unclear right-of-way decisions—can lead to dangerous outcomes.
Sunday’s crash involved two mid-sized passenger vehicles, both showing visible damage, which reflects a moderate-force impact. Despite the limited injury severity in this case, such collisions frequently lead to lingering effects—such as soft tissue strain, back or neck pain, or delayed symptoms that emerge days later.
In Aurora, intersections along East Mississippi Avenue are regularly monitored due to their proximity to residential neighborhoods, schools, and shopping corridors. The convergence of cross-traffic and turning vehicles creates a higher chance for contact, especially when drivers are unprepared for sudden stops or misjudge oncoming speed.
First responders in Aurora continue to perform swift evaluations and scene management to minimize injury progression and restore roadway safety. Their rapid assessment of three injured parties in Sunday’s crash reflects both training efficiency and the importance of being nearby when seconds matter.
For crash victims, even seemingly “minor” incidents can lead to disruption—missed work, vehicle repairs, and uncertainty about long-term health. Accessing recovery resources early can be key to minimizing impact and preventing complications.
