TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — The Pima County Sheriff's Department is investigating a deadly crash near Valencia Road Wednesday.
On Feb. 9, deputies responded to the intersection of Valencia Road and Casino del Sol Drive, near Ignacio M Baumea at around 8:15 p.m. for a report of a crash involving a dirt bike, according to the Pima County Sheriff's Department.
