DENVER (KDVR) — Relatives say a Denver man was killed in a crash on the way to the hospital on Monday as his son was being delivered.

The godmother of 34-year-old Bobby Murphy says her godson did not survive a motorcycle crash at East 14th Avenue and North Milwaukee Street that occurred Monday morning.

Denver Police are continuing their investigation, but Sgt. Mike Farr of the Traffic Investigation Unit said Monday that officers arrived on scene to find a motorcyclist in distress. He said the motorcyclist had collided with the back end of a roll-off dump truck.

Reached by phone, Michelle Tortarella, said that Murphy, a native of Poughkeepsie, New York, had moved to Denver about 7-8 years ago. She said he was already a father to a young daughter.

Tortarella told NewsNation affiliate KDVR that Murphy and his current girlfriend are the parents of a newborn boy: A baby boy who Evans never got to meet.

The family has established a GoFundMe page to help pay for funeral expenses.
