TUCSON, Ariz. — The intersection of Golf Links and Craycroft was shut down after a deadly, hit-and-run crash Thursday morning.
Tucson Police say the call came in around 3:45 a.m. and that a pedestrian was involved in the incident.
When TFD and TPD arrived, they located the pedestrian and pronounced her dead at the scene. She was identified Thursday night as 29-year-old Stepanie S. O'Hanlon.
After conducting interviews, detectives determined the incident involved a Subaru, a utility-style work truck, and a gray Volkswagen. Here's what they learned:
The Subaru was traveling behind a dark SUV or utility-style work truck and a gray Volkswagen was behind the Subaru. As they approached the intersection at Craycroft Rd., the driver of the Subaru advised that an unknown object, later identified as Ms. O’Hanlon, came out from underneath the dark SUV. The object was subsequently struck by the Subaru and the gray Volkswagen. Both vehicles were unable to avoid Ms. O’Hanlon and stopped west of the intersection.
TPD says the utility-style vehicle continued west on Golf Links. The other drivers of the other two vehicles remained on scene.
Detectives learned that O'Hanlon had been displaying "abnormal behavior" throughout the night, including running into traffic and yelling at vehicles.
"Based on witness statements and roadway evidence, detectives believe it is possible that Ms. O’Hanlon could have been lying down in the roadway when she was initially struck. Detectives noted she was not in a crosswalk and was wearing dark clothing," TPD said.
TPD is looking to speak with the driver of the utility-style vehicle. If you have any information on that person's whereabouts, call 9-1-1.
