A 14-year-old Colorado boy died on Monday after he fell off a stolen minivan and was run over, police said.

Aurora police responded to reports of a person struck by a vehicle at around 7:50 p.m. Monday night. First responders found the boy trapped underneath the minivan, and the fire department had to get the boy out.

“Sadly, the young man did not survive the crash and was pronounced at the scene,” Aurora police said in a news release.

The girl later returned and spoke to police. No arrests have been made as of Monday night, according to the Aurora Police Department.
