On September 21, 2016, at approximately 7:10 p.m., Tucson Police officers and members from the Tucson Fire Department responded to a report of a serious injury pedestrian collision near East Broadway Boulevard and South Camino Seco. Tucson Fire immediately transported the adult male pedestrian to Banner University Medical Center. Shortly after arrival, the pedestrian succumbed to his injuries.
Tucson Police Traffic Detectives responded to the scene to continue the investigation. They were able to determine that the pedestrian was running southbound across Broadway Boulevard, east of Camino Seco and was not in a crosswalk.
As the pedestrian ran over the median and entered the eastbound lanes of traffic, he was struck by a gray, 2010 Chrysler Sebring that was eastbound in the median lane. The driver remained at the scene and cooperated with the investigation.
Speed does not appear to be a factor in the collision and the driver showed no signs of impairment. No citations have been issued.
