Scooterist, motorcyclist identified after separate fatal crashes in Colorado Springs

Colorado Springs police identified the two people killed in separate crashes on June 15 as Bethany Selby, 44, and a 17-year-old male, according to news releases by the department.

The teenager, whose name will not be released because of his age, was killed when his motorcycle was hit by a vehicle that was attempting to turn left from Briargate Parkway onto Lexington Drive around 9:15 a.m. Police say speed is being investigated as a possible contributing factor.

Selby was fatally struck by a vehicle while riding a scooter in the 400 block of North Circle Drive around 12:40 p.m. The driver of the vehicle cooperated with investigators, and police do not believe speed or alcohol contributed to it.

Both crashes remain under investigation. Anyone with information can call CSPD at 719-444-4000 or remain anonymous on the Crime Stoppers tip line at 719-634-7867.

These fatalities were the 27th and 28th in the city this year, 10 more than this time last year.
