There s not a lot of sense behind what happened in a park in Denver, Colorado, three and a half weeks ago, but somehow 2012 Pequot Lakes High School graduate Austin Nelson still remembers the event in eerie detail. My partner and I were walking in the Civic Park in downtown Denver, Nelson said of the Saturday, Jan. 30, incident. That s when we heard a car hit the curb and the sound of acceleration.
