COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — The Colorado Springs Police Department says that one person was seriously injured in a hit-and-run crash Saturday.
According to CSPD, the crash occurred at the intersection of East Woodmen Road and Bannling Lewis Parkway on the northeast edge of Colorado Springs around 10:50 p.m.
