Coban Porter, the brother of Denver Nuggets star Michael Porter Jr., smelled of alcohol and was slurring his words after he ran a red light and crashed into another vehicle early Sunday morning, killing the other driver, Denver police allege in a probable cause affidavit.
Coban Porter, a 21-year-old University of Denver basketball player, was arrested on suspicion of vehicular homicide and reckless driving after he was involved in the fatal crash at the intersection of South University and Buchtel boulevards just before 2 a.m. Sunday.
Denver police allege Coban Porter was driving at about 50 mph headed east on East Buchtel Boulevard when he ran a red light at South University Boulevard and crashed into a driver who was headed north on University, according to the affidavit.
