A woman died after being struck by a SUV on Tucsonβs west side Monday night.
On Dec. 27, just after 10:30 p.m., officers were called to the 1900 block of West Grant Road, east of Silverbell Road, for reports of a pedestrian hit by a vehicle Tucson police said.
The pedestrian, a woman in her 60s, was taken to Banner University Medical Center with life-threatening injuries, police said. She died shortly after her arrival. Her name is being withheld pending notification of family.
According to police, a white 2004 Isuzu Rodeo was traveling eastbound on Grant in the median lane when the driver struck the pedestrian.
It was determined that the driver, a man in his 30s, was not impaired at the time of the crash.
Detectives said the pedestrian was not in a crosswalk at the time of the crash and believe that is the major contributing factor.
The investigation is ongoing.
