Asked about this incident during the meeting, Denver police officials explained that only a few dozen of those cars were involved in racing, and the rest were simply stuck behind them.
On April 3, downtown Denver was the site of a more serious drag-racing incident: a high-speed crash at 18th and Lawrence streets that resulted in the death of Jessica Marie Allen, a forty-year-old wife and mother of two. A GoFundMe for Allen s memorial has been established; she was making a food delivery when her car was hit by an SUV. The Denver Police Department has arrested the man who was allegedly driving that car, charging him with vehicular homicide, vehicular assault and DUI.
