A motorcyclist died a day after being struck in a wreck Sunday on Tucson's east side, police say.

Raymond Gordon Brown, Jr., 60, was riding his motorcycle about 3:30 p.m. on North Pantano Road near East Speedway when he made a sudden stop in the roadway and was rear-ended by a 2019 Toyota Tundra driven by an unidentified 57-year-old man, police said in a news release.

Investigators say a dog being walked with a leash may have stepped into the road just prior to the collision.

Brown died Monday at a hospital, police said.

Police said Brown had a motorcycle endorsement associated with his driver’s license. He was not wearing a helmet.

The Tundra driver was cited for failure to control his speed.

The investigation continues.
