DENVER — Two pedestrians were taken to the hospital for injuries after a driver crashed into a group of people in Denver and fled the scene early Sunday morning.
Denver police received a call at 1:56 a.m. Sunday about a large fight in the street at Market Street and 20th Street, said Doug Schepman, public information officer with the Denver Police Department.
When officers arrived, they shot pepper balls toward the group in an effort to break up the fight.
At some point, a compact car drove into the area, striking two pedestrians. They flew up on the car’s hood and onto the pavement.
The two people struck were taken to the hospital with minor injuries. The driver of the car fled after the crash.
