A woman died in a car crash in midtown Tucson on Wednesday afternoon.
Amelia J. Guzman, 82, was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at the hospital, Tucson police said.
On Sept. 22 just after 3 p.m., officers arrived at East Camp Lowell Drive and North Swan Road for reports of a serious injury collision involving a silver 2018 Toyota Camry and a grey 2016 Dodge Challenger.
Tucson Fire arrived at the scene and took Guzman, the driver of the Camry, to Banner University Medical Center with life-threatening injuries, police said. The driver of the Challenger and a passenger were also taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
