Two men died as a result of a single-vehicle car crash Monday on Tucson's Northwest side, officials said.

Pima County Sheriff's Deputies responded to a report of a crash with serious injuries on North Silverbell Road at North Silver Ridge Lane, just south of West Ina Road at 3:30 p.m. Monday.Β 

The driver, Samuel Cordova, 36, was pronounced deceased at the scene said Deputy James Allerton, spokesman for the Pima County Sheriff's Department. Rodrigo Salazar, 41, was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Silverbell Road was closed for a few hours while deputies investigated the crash. The road has been reopened.

This is still under investigation and further information will be released as it becomes available.
