DENVER, CO – A pickup truck driver was charged after causing a fatal collision near the Denver International Airport that killed one person and sent 10 others to the hospital.

According to CBS News, Commerce City police announced to the public on Thursday, Oct. 9, that the pickup truck driver, identified as Kwame Adjei-Broni, faces the following charges: careless driving causing injury and failure to yield, and careless driving causing death.

The collision occurred at around 4:30 a.m. on Sunday, July 13, at the intersection of Tower Road and East 81st Avenue. Adjei-Broni was going south on Tower Road when he struck the shuttle bus (not affiliated with the Denver International Airport) as it was waiting to make a left turn.

The force of the collision ejected three people. Out of those people, it was a man, later identified as John Hughes, who died from his injuries at the scene.

Seven bus occupants, including the driver and Adjei-Broni’s passenger, were injured.

Police will present more information to Colorado’s 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.
