Boulder police have interviewed a number of witnesses to Saturday’s fatal hit-and-run accident near the intersection of Broadway and Baseline. Based on these interviews, investigators have new information on both the accident and the victim.
The accident happened in the northbound merge lane of Broadway, just north of Baseline, at about 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 5, 2011.
The Boulder County Coroner has identified the victim as Ronald L. Keithline (date of birth 01/31/1957). Keithline has had a number of interactions with Boulder police and has been known to lie in roadways in the past.
Witnesses who witnessed the collision say that, just prior to the accident, a red SUV stopped suddenly and swerved onto the sidewalk to go around something in the road. About 30 seconds later, they say they saw a dark-colored SUV hit Keithline. According to these witnesses, the SUV stopped for a moment, and then fled the scene.
Police are looking for a dark-colored Toyota Rav4 or Nissan Xterra-type vehicle.
Anyone with information about the accident is asked to call the Boulder Police Department’s Traffic Supervisor at 303-441-3333.
