According to the Colorado State Patrol, troopers were dispatched to a hit-and-run crash on South Boston Court and East Louisiana Avenue. When they arrived, troopers investigated the crash involving the school bus. The children on board were not injured and released to their parents. 

Aurora police were also investigating the same suspect driver in another hit-and-run at 2:10 p.m. at Mississippi and Dayton. Officers said the suspect vehicle ran a red light at that intersection and was trying to get away from the crash scene. That's when officers said another driver, a citizen and witness to the red light crash, was able to stop the suspect vehicle from getting away.
