CSPD received a report of an automobile vs. pedestrian traffic accident at Circle Dr and Winnepeg Dr. on 3/15/2010. Officers responded to the scene and learned that a male pedestrian had been struck in the street by a southbound automobile. The pedestrian was deceased at the scene of the collision. The pedestrian was identified as 15-year-old Ali Aashiq, a Palmer High School student. The vehicle was a 1991 Honda Accord and was driven by 19-year-old Erick Ryan of Colorado Springs. Alcohol and drugs do not appear to be a factor. Excess speed is suspected to be a factor. This incident is still under investigation and CSPD is working in collaboration with the District Attorney’s Office. Any decision to file charges will be announced later,
