DENVER — Family members have identified Brad Brubaker – a Highlands resident and father – as the man who was killed in a high-speed crash near West 32nd Avenue and North Lowell Boulevard on Saturday.
A 49-year-old man is in custody following the fatal crash that killed Brubaker and put his daughter in the hospital, according to a probable cause (PC) statement from the Denver Police Department (DPD).
Patrick Layden was arrested and is accused of driving his car at a high rate of speed westbound on West 32nd Avenue just before noon, and then running a red light and striking another vehicle at the North Lowell Boulevard intersection, the PC statement says.
The driver of the other car, Brubaker, was pronounced dead at the scene and a child was taken to a nearby hospital with serious injuries. DPD said Monday that the child is in critical condition, but expected to survive.
The collision also caused the victim’s car to crash into seven other parked vehicles, according to the PC statement. None of the people in those other cars were hurt, police said.
The Denver District Attorney’s Office will determine charges against Layden.
Layden was found guilty of driving under the influence in Clear Creek County in 2000, court records show.
