AURORA, Colo. (KDVR) — New data shows traffic deaths are trending up in Aurora and statewide. So far this year, Joe Moylan of the Aurora Police Department said they've recorded 42 traffic-related deaths in the city, just eight shy of their total in 2022. 'Being at 42 this year is obviously concerning considering we've got five months left in the year,' Moylan said. In Aurora, he said the top three causes are speed, intoxication and seatbelt use. 'The vast majority of fatal traffic crashes are preventable, so just paying attention to the road and the people around you, your risk drops a lot,' Moylan said.
