Sergeant Franco Aguilar was killed at approximately 10:30 pm when he fell approximately 250-feet from a bridge on I-70.
He was investigating an accident on the bridge that involved a car that had crashed into a barrier after sliding on the snowy highway. As he gathered information from the driver an approaching SUV also lost control on the snow and slid into the vehicle that had previously crashed.
It is believed Sergeant Aguilar was either struck and thrown over the guardrail, or was attempting to jump out of the SUV’s path, when he fell.
Sergeant Aguilar was killed on his 36th birthday.
