A man died after he rear-ended another vehicle on northbound Interstate 225 in Aurora Friday evening, causing a multi-vehicle crash.

The crash, which took place just before 6 p.m. Friday, began when the man, driving a work van, rear-ended a Ford SUV, which then rear-ended an Infinity SUV, according to a Friday news release from the Aurora Police Department.

The driver of the work van was taken to the hospital where he was later pronounced dead, according to the release. The woman driving the Ford was hospitalized with minor injuries, and the driver of the Infinity was evaluated at the scene and did not need further medical attention.

The roadway was reopened just before 9 p.m. Friday after crews had responded to the scene.

Investigators believe the vehicles were all driving at speeds below that of typical highway travel when the crash took place, according to the release. The driver’s identity and cause of death will be determined by the Adams County Coroner.

Detectives will also reconstruct the scene to figure out any additional factors that may have contributed to the crash or the van driver’s death.
