Man dies in early Saturday crash

AURORA | A 38-year-old Aurora man died after crashing into an Xcel Energy truck early Saturday morning, Aurora police said.
 
The crash happened around 2:15 a.m. Saturday at South Chambers Road and East Mexico Drive.


Police said the Xcel truck was making a left turn onto eastbound Mexico from northbound Chambers when a silver Mitsubishi Lancer headed north on Chambers slammed into the truck.


The driver and lone person in the Lancer, Benjamin Rutledge, wasn’t wearing his seatbelt and was seriously injured in the crash. He later died at an area hospital.


Police said the driver of the Xcel truck, Greg Adams, 51, was not injured in the crash. Adams had a green turn arrow when he turned and likely won’t face charges, police said.
