On the morning of June 2, 2018, the Tucson area was thrown into chaos by a motorcycle accident just outside of downtown. The victim was a 30-year-old man who was critically injured when his bike collided with a passenger car.
The accident occurred at around 10 a.m., and emergency crews were quickly dispatched to the scene. Upon arrival, paramedics found the motorcyclist unconscious and in critical condition. He was quickly rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment; however, his injuries were so severe that he was pronounced dead shortly afterward.
The cause of the crash is still under investigation, but authorities are leaning toward reckless driving as the primary factor. Police are asking anyone who may have witnessed the accident to contact them. They believe that the driver of the passenger car was not paying attention and failed to yield to the motorcyclist, which led to the tragic accident.
The Tucson area has seen an alarming number of motorcycle accidents over the past few years and authorities are expecting more of the same in the coming months. Motorists are encouraged to be vigilant and look out for motorcycles when on the roads. Everyone should remember that a split second of distraction can lead to devastating accidents like this one.
