DENVER, CO (Mar 21, 2026) – A 47-year-old man was killed in a hit-and-run crash early Saturday on Interstate 70 in Denver, police reported.
Youssouf Sow was identified as the victim of the four-vehicle collision that occurred around 5 a.m. near Havana Street. Authorities said at least one other person was injured and taken to a hospital.
The driver responsible fled the scene. The crash remains under investigation.
Leaving the scene of an accident is a crime, yet statistics show that more than one hit-and-run crash happens every minute on U.S. roadways. Many drivers flee because they may be intoxicated, unlicensed, or fear arrest if they remain.
Candice Bond, an experienced hit-and-run accident attorney, noted that in incidents like this, it is crucial to have an independent investigation conducted quickly to protect a victim’s rights.
“Having the proper resources is critical to thoroughly investigate a hit-and-run accident and establish negligence,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal and a national analyst with Accident Injury News. “Factors such as road conditions, visibility of signage, and lighting must be carefully reviewed. These steps are essential in helping injured victims obtain justice and financial compensation.”
The family members of Youssouf Sow may be entitled to pursue a wrongful death claim. Loved ones of victims may seek damages for loss of companionship, pain, suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic accident.
“We recognize the hardship families endure after such losses, and ensuring their rights are protected is essential,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal. “An attorney will stay informed on the investigation and work to protect the family’s interests. Relatives may seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a catastrophic event.”
