HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo. — A memorial car cruise is being planned Sunday to remember 13-year-old Alex Mackiewicz, a Highlands Ranch seventh-grader killed at an intersection last week.
Alex, who was a student at Mountain Ridge Middle School, was on foot just before 7 a.m. Wednesday when a driver struck and killed him as he was crossing the intersection of Venneford Ranch Road and Highlands Ranch Parkway. Alex's mother vowed to be at the intersection, where a make-shift memorial now stands, every morning at 6:48 a.m. — the time her son lost his life while using the crosswalk. The community held a vigil at the intersection Thursday evening.
The event is scheduled for Sunday at 1 p.m. Participants are being asked to meet at the Kaiser Permanente parking lot, 9285 Hepburn Street, at 12:30 p.m.
