A 62-year-old motorcyclist has died days after colliding with an SUV in midtown, Tucson police said.

The crash happened about 5 p.m. Nov. 30, when the motorcyclist, Milton U. Nelson, crashed a 2004 Harley-Davidson into a 2006 Ford Explorer whose 18-year-old driver made a U-turn on westbound East 22nd Street near South Tucson Boulevard, police said in a news release.

The motorcyclist was speeding and the teen driver had alcohol in his system, the release said. Nelson also lacked a valid driver’s license or motorcycle endorsement and was not wearing a helmet, the release said.

The crash still is being investigated.
