What happened

DENVER – Law enforcement is asking the public’s help in identifying the driver of a truck allegedly connected to a hit-and-run crash that seriously injured a person early Saturday morning.

Why it matters

The Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) issued a Medina Alert after investigators said a pedestrian was struck by a 2003-2007 Chevrolet Silverado truck at around 1:48 a.m.

Common ground

Denver police later said the crash happened near a "large gathering" in a parking lot after "two vehicles were driving in a reckless manner in the parking lot and struck an adult male pedestrian standing in the area," said DPD's Kurt Barnes.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
