UPDATE: The Colorado State Patrol arrested a 64-year-old John Mayner on suspicion of vehicular homicide Friday afternoon in connection with the Jan. 13th death of 33 year-old Denver resident Leyla Sahs. The accident took place on Picadilly Road and south of East 152nd Avenue in Brighton. Reported, Mayner could also face driving under the influence of alcohol charges and driving with excessive alcohol content. CPS Trooper Heather Cobler reported Sahs was trying to visit a friend in the area when her car broke down. Cobler thinks several people may have given Sahs rides before she was in the area where the Camry hit her. A second vehicle, a 2005 Chevrolet pick-up, also hit Sahs after the first collision. The CSP knows who the driver is. That person is not facing charges, but CPS troopers would like to talk to the individual.

very odd.
ReplyDeleteOdd indeed! I would like to know the rest of this story. Why didn't the first ladt call 911 when she noticed her walking around for nearly 40 minutes barefoot and not dressed appropriately? It would seem to me, a compassionate person would have at the very least call for a health and welfare check! Secondly the woman who was driving home with a child in the back of her car, you served and almost missed hitting this woman by inches???? Really??? If you were so afraid for your life, why not drive up a distance and call 911???? Where is the humanity in Denver???? Heartless? I think yes! Then the family friend(?) really, you don't call the police first????This story is tragic! She was loved.she was a mother, a daughter, sister, Auntie, cousin, granddaughter, niece.... tragic! Even if you felt she might be mentally unstable, why wouldn't you call 911???? Shame on all of these people who in my opinion let this happen! And to the cowards who ran her over like a deer and left the scene, you will burn in hell!
