The Brighton Police Department is investigating a fatal crash that occurred on February 18th, at approximately 10:15 a.m. 

Brighton Police officers were dispatched to the westbound lanes of I-76 near E Bromley Ln, after a caller reported a box truck rolling over on its side, blocking both lanes of traffic.  

Responding officers located the single-occupant driver, a 24-year-old male, who had been ejected from the truck, with serious injuries. Medical personnel arrived on scene, and the driver was transported to Platte Valley Medical Center for further treatment and evaluation. The male was pronounced deceased at the hospital a short time later. 

The driver’s identity is being withheld pending positive identification by the coroner’s office and notification of next of kin. The initial investigation indicates that the driver was not wearing a seatbelt. This investigation remains ongoing and is still in the early stages. 

Anyone who has additional information is asked to call the Brighton Police Department tip line at 303-655-8740.
