A man using a ride-share service in Aurora was killed on Monday when the vehicle was involved in a crash.

The Aurora Police Department says the crash took place near Laredo Street and 6th Avenue around 8 p.m. According to police, a Toyota Rav4 ran a red light while heading west through the intersection and collided with a sedan operating as a ride-share.
