WESTMINSTER, Colo. (CBS4) -- A 25-year-old Arvada man has been charged with Vehicular Homicide following a late-night collision that killed a 15-year-old pedestrian.
Elliot Hayden Bond was charged Friday in Jefferson County court. In addition to the Vehicular Homicide, he faces a felony charge for leaving the scene of a deadly accident and one count of Driving Under the Influence.
