A pedestrian who was seriously injured in an October car crash succumbed to his injuries and died last Friday, authorities said.
At 8 p.m. on Oct. 14, police responded to the a serious injury collision involving two pedestrians at the intersection of North Alvernon Way and East Flower Street, according to a Tucson Police Department news release.
The two male pedestrians were transported to Banner-University Medical Center with serious injuries, but the driver of the car that hit them wasn't hurt in the crash, the release said.
Through their investigation, police learned that the driver was traveling northbound on Alvernon in the curb lane, having just passed East Grant Road. As he drove north, he hit the pedestrians while they were crossing the road.
The two men weren't walking in or near the crosswalk, and speed and impairment aren't believed to be factors in the crash. The driver wasn't cited, the release said.
The pedestrian who died has been identified as 77-year-old Arthur Valenzuela Lopez. The other man has since been released from the hospital.
