BOULDER, CO – A hit-and-run collision sent a cyclist to a hospital and ended in a man’s arrest last Wednesday, March 26, according to the City of Boulder. 

The collision happened before 11 a.m. The hit-and-run driver, operating a Ford F150, had run a red light at the intersection of 63rd Street and Spine Road. After racing through the junction, he ran over a cyclist who had the right of way — a green light. Additional preliminary details showed that the cyclist was going east and the driver north. 

EMS crews rushed the cyclist to a medical facility for treatment of serious injuries.

Kelsey faces the following charges: Misdemeanor careless driving causing serious bodily injury to a vulnerable road user, Misdemeanor running a red light, Misdemeanor careless driving causing injury, and Felony leaving the scene of an accident causing serious bodily injury.
