TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — The Tucson Police Department has new information regarding Saturday afternoon's crash near South Campbell Avenue and East Irvington Road.
Public Information Officer Sergeant David Fritsch says a gray 2019 Kia Forte was heading north on Campbell Avenue and drove left of center into the southbound lanes. That's when it rammed into a brown 2014 Hyundai Tucson head on.
He tells KGUN 9 22-year-old Adrian Rene Lujan Terrazas was traveling in the Kia with a child passenger and woman driving. Both were taken to the Banner University Medical Center for treatment. Police pronounced the 22-year-old dead at the scene.
"Mr. Terrazas was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the collision and did not have a valid driver’s license. The child passenger of the Kia was not in a child restraint seat and appears to have been unrestrained at the time of the collision," Sgt. Fritsch explained. "Additionally, drugs were located inside of Mr. Terrazas’ vehicle; however, it is currently unknown if he had any drugs in his system at the time of the collision."
This investigation remains ongoing. No one was arrested either.
