2 dead in crash on Federal in Denver
DENVER (KDVR) -- Two people are dead after a crash Saturday night, Denver police said. The crash happened at 14th Avenue and Federal Boulevard in the southbound lanes of Federal, police said in a 10:30 p.m. Saturday X post. Police had originally said Saturday night the two people killed were riding an electric scooter, but on Sunday morning, they said the two were pedestrians and not riding a scooter. The driver of the vehicle stayed at the scene. Southbound Federal Boulevard was closed while police investigated the crash. FOX31's Shaul Turner spoke with pedestrians who use the intersection. They said they often fear for their safety because they have no choice but to cross there. “It's kind of scary, to be honest,” one pedestrian said. Voters approved funding in 2017 for additional safety construction completed last fall that included more curb extensions, pedestrian signals and ramps in other areas along Federal. Many are calling for more of a police presence near Federal Boulevard and 14th Street and urging drivers to heed posted speed limits at every intersection. “You should slow down, obey the laws, yellow doesn't mean speed up,” said one resident.
