The evidence in the case of a man killed on a scooter in a hit-and-run collision in the early-morning hours of April 26 stacked up quickly.

Those details, as well as the voluntary surrender of the suspected driver, are included in the arrest affidavit obtained by The Gazette.

Colorado Springs police received a call about a crash near the intersection of North Academy Boulevard and Platte Avenue around 1:21 a.m. on Friday, April 26. According to the affidavit, officers at the scene discovered that a man had been riding an electric scooter eastbound on East Platte Avenue, at the end of the Academy Boulevard on-ramp, when he was struck from behind by a vehicle which fled the scene. The man — later identified in court documents as 51-year-old Reuben Ziemer — was declared dead on the scene.

Investigators say they found several plastic vehicle pieces in the roadway near the scene of the collision. Several were red, and one contained a parts number on it, indicating the piece had come from a 1997-20001 red Jeep Grand Cherokee.

The arrest affidavit also details how a nearby license plate reader camera captured a red Jeep traveling eastbound just before the crash. Investigators say the same vehicle was seen in multiple intersection red light cameras.

Surveillance video from a nearby business however seems to have captured the actual collision. The court document says the surveillance video shows a “red SUV approaches from behind the scooter and collides with the victim. The vehicle continues eastbound and did not slow down or stop.”

Police say the red Jeep believed to have been seen in the videos was registered to a man with a listed residence just 8 minutes from the scene of the collision. Officers obtained a search warrant and entered the home Friday afternoon. The vehicle was found parked inside the garage.

Saturday morning the owner of the Jeep and the house, Andrew James Bjornstad, 33, turned himself in to Colorado Springs police. He was taken into custody on suspicion of felony hit-and-run causing death, felony tampering with evidence, and misdemeanor failure to report an accident.

Bjornstad is scheduled for a hearing on advisement on May 2.
