An 89-year-old Sahuarita women is dead after her vehicle was found in a single-vehicle collision.
According to the Sahuarita Police Department, on March 4, 2025, at approximately 9:19 a.m., officers responded to a report of a single vehicle accident on Nogales Hwy just south of Sahuarita Rd. Upon arrival, officers found a citizen performing CPR on an elderly female.
An SPD officer took over CPR until Santa Rita Fire Department personnel arrived and took over life saving measures, however the life-saving measures were unsuccessful, and the female passed away at the scene.
At this point in the investigation, it appears the vehicle was traveling southbound on Nogales Hwy when it left the roadway and struck a tree. The victim, identified as Marcia Jones, who was the only occupant, was wearing a seatbelt, and speed and impairment do not seem to have contributed to this incident. Preliminary information at this time suggests a medical issue may have caused this collision.
This incident is still under investigation, and if you or someone else may have information associated with this case, you are asked to call SPD by calling 520-351- 4900, 9-1-1, or 520-344-7000 during business hours, Monday through Friday, or by contacting the TIP Line at 520-445-7847.
