A 25-year-old man was killed early Monday morning in a single-vehicle crash on the Tucson's southeast side, police say.
Chase Aaron Ortiz was driving a 2006 Toyota Corolla west on East Golf Links Road near South Craycroft Road when he struck the median, Tucson police said in a news release.
The car traveled partially on the median for about a quarter mile before it hit a curb and eventually smashed into a tree.
Ortiz was not wearing a seat belt and the car lacked an operable airbag, police said. He died shortly after arriving at a hospital.
Speeding was a factor in the crash, police said.
