A man has died a week after being struck by an SUV while riding his bicycle in midtown Tucson, police said.
On Sept. 16, Rene Navarro Jr., 25, was left seriously injured after crashing with a 2013 Jeep Patriot near North Estrella Avenue and East Grant Road, east of North Stone Avenue.
Detectives determined Navarro was northbound on Estrella at a "westward angle" attempting to cross Grant when the westbound SUV hit him, a Tucson police news release said.
The nearby High Intensity Activated Crosswalk was not activated due to Navarro being west of its location, police said, adding that the traffic signals were green for east and westbound traffic.
Police said Navarro was not wearing a helmet.
A DUI officer determined the driver of the Jeep, who remained at the scene, was not impaired at the time of the crash.
No charges or citations have been issued as of Monday afternoon.
Anyone with additional information about the collision is asked to call 88-CRIME. Β
