A former Penn State football player suffered life-threatening injuries in a serious crash that killed his fiancée earlier this month.
Kyle Vasey, 30, was hospitalized after his 35-year-old fiancée, Corrine More, died in the hit-and-run crash.
A 28-year-old man was driving near East Wildcat Reserve Parkway and Willowbridge Way in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, around 10:30 a.m. on June 1 when he struck Vasey, More and a 72-year-old woman, all of whom were walking on the sidewalk. She was also hospitalized with serious injuries.

The driver, Adam Bauserman, had his license revoked due to a drunk driving arrest last year. Douglas County Sheriff Darren Weekly told CBS Colorado that Bauserman has had his license revoked and suspended several times over the past 10 years.
“He should never have been on the road and as a result someone died,” the sheriff said.
Bauserman was arrested after a witness followed his truck. According to CBS Colorado, witnesses saw Bauserman turn around after the crash, slowly drive past the scene and walk away. This caused another witness to follow him down the road, leading to his arrest.

Officials said Bauserman was “unusually quiet” and asked if he killed Vasey. Witnesses believe Bauserman’s actions while driving were not accidental.
A doctor cited in the affidavit, according to CBS Colorado, said Vasey was at risk of permanent disfigurement or death.
Bauserman currently faces seven criminal charges and bail has been set at $100,000.
