Investigators believe Serrato ran the red light when turning, Denver Police Sergeant Katherine McCandless said in an email to The Denver Post.<\/p>\n<p>Denver officers responded to the crash in the 1300 block of 20th Street \u2014 on the edge of the city\u2019s Union Station and Five Points neighborhood \u2014 at 2:23 a.m. Sunday, according to the affidavit.<\/p>\n<p>Two pedestrians were thrown from the crosswalk and one was pulled under Serrato\u2019s car, police wrote in the affidavit. Officers and bystanders had to lift Serrato\u2019s car to free the pedestrian, who was dragged half a block before Serrato stopped in traffic, according to the affidavit. The three victims have not been publicly identified, and updates on their conditions were not available on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Serrato, who was driving with a revoked license at the time of the crash, \u201cappeared to be intoxicated,\u201d the affidavit stated. He had bloodshot and watery eyes, slurred speech, trouble understanding instructions and the \u201cstrong odor of alcoholic beverages on his breath,\u201d police said.<\/p>\n<p>Paramedics took Serrato to the hospital because of his \u201cextreme level of intoxication,\u201d police wrote in the affidavit. Serrato was later arrested on suspicion of vehicular assault, a felony, court records show.<\/p>\n<p>As of Tuesday morning, Serrato\u2019s next court date had not yet been scheduled. He was being held at that time on a $50,000 cash-only bail at Denver\u2019s downtown detention center, according to inmate records.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coloradospringsmoverss.com\/?p=1647\">\u2018Biker\u2019 Jim Pittenger exits Avanti, citing health issues<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>This is a developing story and may be updated.<\/em><\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em>Sign up to get crime news sent straight to your inbox each day.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coloradospringsmoverss.com\/?p=1649\">Colorado receives FDA permission to import cheaper drugs \u2014 including Ozempic \u2014 from Canada<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cesario Serrato was arrested Sunday on suspicion of vehicular assault in the Denver crash that injured three pedestrians, police said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":721,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,8,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1652","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crashes-and-disasters","category-crime-and-public-safety","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
