(COLORADO SPRINGS) — A driver involved in a serious crash near the intersection of North Academy Boulevard and Lehman Drive that resulted in the death of a minor may have run a red light, according to the latest update from the Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD). The crash happened on Wednesday, April 22, just before 2:40 p.m. All people involved in the crash were taken to the hospital with serious injuries.
