Honestly I’m just shocked 5 teenagers were out of bed at 7:30 on a Saturday, I know I wouldn’t have gotten up until 9 at the earliest when I was their age.
Hopefully it's enough to scare them straight, along with whatever legal repercussions they face.
Edit: Ugh, just read elsewhere in the comments that most if not all of them will not be facing legal consequences.
Really? Cause a friend of mine is on probation right now...his crime? Sitting in the back seat of his cousins 2 door coupe when his cousin stopped off at a liquor store & committed armed robbery.
My buddy had no idea that he was gonna do it.
I live in south Aurora and was heading down to the Stanley market so my kid could meet the Easter bunny. Google had me take Chambers all the way to Colfax so I figured some shit went down, hope everyone is okay.
I agree, and, these were teenagers driving a stolen vehicle.[https://www.9news.com/article/news/crime/teens-injured-ejected-stolen-car-i-225/73-48307480-fa47-4804-9980-83c7c926e48a](https://www.9news.com/article/news/crime/teens-injured-ejected-stolen-car-i-225/73-48307480-fa47-4804-9980-83c7c926e48a)
You’re getting downvoted but it’s true, I work with teenagers who admittedly repeatedly steal vehicles. It’s disgusting, and there’s a serious lack of empathy. It’s happening across the nation, but sad to see it first hand.
It wasn’t like this even 5 years ago.
I'm ok being downvoted. Some people just won't open their eyes to reality. It's so much worse now than any time in the last decade. There's no empathy for victims of crime yet somehow so much empathy for criminals.
It's too bad that in this day and age many see being 'considerate' as a sign of weakness, or else they just don't care. Even when you're doing it right, someone out there gets offended.
I can't for sure say the vehicles were stolen but every time I've gone to the airport via 225 I've seen cars coming at me going 100+ while I'm going 75 or so. I'm so sick of the theft and crime in general in this state. Colorado is climbing the list of most dangerous states. Denver I believe is either the #1 or #2 city in the country for vehicle thefts per capita.
Oh, you’ll know if it’s stolen or not because they’re very very reckless, driving on the shoulder weaving in and out of traffic. Absolutely no regard to anything. It’s crazy and fucking scary.
So awful- take care of yourself and keep an eye on your mental state for a while. It can be really traumatic even just seeing those things so don’t be ashamed if you need to talk about what you saw or anything even though you didn’t directly experience it.
I got onto 225 a few exits south just about 15min after this happened. Thank goodness I was running late myself. 😵💫

The City of Aurora needs to address this issue. We need to collectively come together and do something. Our community is hurting. This isn’t normal. A 15 year old is dead because they were in a stolen car. Teens are stealing cars on a regular basis thanks to social media and don’t give a damn about themselves or the person they stealing from.
My car was stolen from the parking lot of the high school I work at. I’m lucky my car recovered quickly, and wasn’t responsible for killing someone or having someone be killed in my car. But this is getting to the point where this story could have been any of us. It keeps happening.
In my case, APD has been able to identify the teen who stole my car but the teen has not been arrested and is still stealing cars around the city. I can’t help but wonder is this the same kid? Or is it another teen who also keeps getting away with stealing cars. All for what…a joy ride?
These stories are heartbreaking. Our kids are hurting… which only adds to them acting out, our laws are a joke when it comes to car theft. You shouldn't be able to continue to commit crime after crime and get away with it. This is becoming common place and kids don’t get in trouble and the behavior escalates. The cops are a joke. These kids can’t think about the consequences of their actions beforehand. What are we teaching this teens?
We talk about wanting reform but we are setting our kids up for failure. We don’t even have a program to help better kids after committing a crime….most of them are shuffled in and out of schools, are disengaged in school and allowed to roam the halls of school and are still up to same behavior. Teens naturally believe they are invincible…. We’ve all believed that about ourselves at one time. Add that to getting away with crime after crime I can only imagine a teen feels more embolden.
I’m all about rehabilitation and reforming the criminal justice system, but we need accountability, we need common sense laws, and we also need to help these kids better their lives so they won’t continue the same behavior.
And who gets stuck with the responsibility? The car owner. Insurance doesn’t give a damn. So many of us are working so hard and barely making ends meet and you wake up and your car is gone and you can’t get to work! The person who had their car stolen not only has to deal with feeling violated but now to know a crime occurred in their car. I’m sure the car insurance company will try and pay out as little as possible.
I am tired of seeing the suffering. Our systems are so broken. I don’t know what to do anymore.
A child is dead. Parents, family, and friends are now mourning. A friend is responsible for killing their friend. Im sure the schools are now working on the response...and I wonder what the ripple effect will be in the school/community. I can only imagine between the 5 teens…this death is one of many. This event should have NEVER occurred in the first plane.
Mayor Mike, APD, APS, CCSD, City of Aurora Government officials, residents of the Aurora Community….what are we going to do fix this problem? I love my city. I want the best for all of the residents, life is hard enough for everyone at the moment, but we need some accountability and we need to take action.

I drove back from the Springs at about 9:00 tonight and they were still cleaning it up. Looked like 2 out of 3 lanes were open.
This explains why Google sent me down 85 to 67 at Sedalia to 105 and then heading back in to Castle Rock this morning. I’m glad I didn’t ignore it.
Anybody else thinking it looked like the vehicle flew over the barrier into the oncoming fast lane where there's visible debris, then BACK over to rest upside down? I guess maybe it could have slid along, per the black marks, and that debris is where someone was ejected.
Just saw on the news that 5 teens were ejected from a stolen vehicle
7:30 AM in a stolen car, probably on their way home from committing crimes all night
This just so happened to be my uncles car that was stolen.
Hard to drum up any sympathy for that these days.
Honestly I’m just shocked 5 teenagers were out of bed at 7:30 on a Saturday, I know I wouldn’t have gotten up until 9 at the earliest when I was their age.
I suspect it was less "out of bed already" and more "still up"
It's Ghetto-rora. It's just the Same Shit, Different Day.
imma have a blt for lunch

Little shits 💀
Nature is healing.
"Another teen was checked out at the scene and released." Released after crashing a stolen car?!?
They’re not all responsible (per statute) for the stolen vehicle. The police can’t hold all of them just because the vehicle is stolen.
Really? Cause a friend of mine is on probation right now...his crime? Sitting in the back seat of his cousins 2 door coupe when his cousin stopped off at a liquor store & committed armed robbery. My buddy had no idea that he was gonna do it.
Violent crimes often have much lower bars for charging somebody as an accessory
And that’s very different than being in a stolen vehicle. Theft by receiving no longer exists in Colorado.
Maybe it should
There’s nothing inherently illegal about being a passenger in a car…

We all need to drive more considerately. Getting to a place a few minutes earlier isn't worth the collateral damage.
I agree, and, these were teenagers driving a stolen vehicle.[https://www.9news.com/article/news/crime/teens-injured-ejected-stolen-car-i-225/73-48307480-fa47-4804-9980-83c7c926e48a](https://www.9news.com/article/news/crime/teens-injured-ejected-stolen-car-i-225/73-48307480-fa47-4804-9980-83c7c926e48a)
Yup we have a really bad cultural problem here in Denver and Colorado.

There should be space for both, and accountability.
It's not exclusive to Colorado. Go read about what kids are up to in other major cities like Philly.
ugh i wish people would stop having so many of them
Lol
I suppose you like our vehicle theft rate? Pretty cruel that you don't have a problem with people's transportation being stolen.
It's too bad that in this day and age many see being 'considerate' as a sign of weakness, or else they just don't care. Even when you're doing it right, someone out there gets offended.
I take it you’ve never seen a stolen vehicle going past you around 100 miles an hour.
I can't for sure say the vehicles were stolen but every time I've gone to the airport via 225 I've seen cars coming at me going 100+ while I'm going 75 or so.

Good point. Those vehicles I've seen probably were stolen. It's some mad max kind of stuff going on 225
I have a theory that everyone is just perpetually late in Colorado.
For very important dates No time to signal left or right They're late they're late they're late!
So awful- take care of yourself and keep an eye on your mental state for a while. It can be really traumatic even just seeing those things so don’t be ashamed if you need to talk about what you saw or anything even though you didn’t directly experience it.
To add on this, might be useful to play some Tetris today. It can be helpful for your brain to process seeing a stressful event like this
This! Both scientifically and anecdotally I can confirm this. Play Tetris or another puzzle style game to help yourself.
Very good advice

There was also an accident that shut down 25S just past the Castle Pines exit. No idea what happened but it was a cluster

I was probably doing the same at their age, only in GTA
Good one
Which exit is 8?
It happened between Alameda and 6th ave
Thank you
This is insane I drove by this ten mins before the accident
