Littleton, CO (September 1, 2025) – A hit-and-run crash involving two vehicles left one person injured Saturday morning at the intersection of South Datura Street and West Littleton Boulevard. The collision occurred just before 9:41 a.m., prompting an emergency response from South Metro Fire Rescue and Littleton Police.
Initial reports indicate that one of the drivers involved fled the scene before authorities arrived. A witness vehicle—Medical 11—was already on-site and confirmed injuries at the scene. Audio recordings from dispatch revealed that bystanders assisted in helping a victim out of one of the vehicles prior to the arrival of medics.
The crash resulted in moderate vehicle damage, and one of the cars was later relocated to a nearby parking lot at Mama’s Kitchen, where emergency crews completed their evaluation. While exact details on the number and severity of injuries remain limited, medics were observed working with at least one injured individual.
Law enforcement is now investigating the incident as a hit-and-run, with officers working to gather witness statements and vehicle information. No arrests or suspect descriptions have yet been released.
Hit-and-Run Accidents in Colorado
Saturday’s crash at Datura and Littleton Blvd highlights a troubling trend seen across Colorado: drivers fleeing scenes where others are left injured and in need of help. Hit-and-run collisions not only delay critical medical care but also intensify the trauma and legal complexity for victims.
Intersections like Datura and W Littleton Blvd—positioned near residential zones and small businesses—see consistent vehicle and pedestrian traffic throughout the day. These locations are especially vulnerable to sudden collisions, as drivers may misjudge turning traffic or run red lights, and when one driver leaves the scene, accountability becomes difficult.
In many hit-and-run cases, victims are left disoriented, injured, and without immediate knowledge of how to begin the recovery process. Fortunately, in this incident, witnesses and bystanders stepped in to assist before medics arrived, likely helping prevent more serious outcomes. Still, any delay in professional care can increase the risk of complications—especially for individuals with underlying health conditions or those who suffer internal injuries.
Hit-and-run drivers can face serious criminal penalties under Colorado law, especially when injuries are involved. Investigators often rely on community tips, surveillance footage, or plate descriptions to track down fleeing drivers. In this case, authorities have split the response between the original crash site and the parking lot where one vehicle was moved, likely aiding in the collection of evidence.
