Colorado State Patrol is investigating a hit-and-run crash that seriously injured a motorcyclist Tuesday.

Troopers responded to the crash on C-470 near mile post six near Quincy Avenue and Bowles Avenue in Jefferson County, according to a news release. 

The initial investigation showed the motorcycle was traveling westbound on C-470 weaving in and out of traffic behind a gray Audi SUV.

The front of the motorcycle hit the left rear of the SUV, seriously injuring the motorcycle’s 32-year-old rider, according to investigators.

The SUV left the scene and its driver has not been identified.

The run vehicle is believed to be a gray Audi SUV with damage to the left rear and license plate 448 0408. Police are not sure what state the plate is from.
