Police have identified two men killed in a wrong way head-on crash Friday afternoon in Oro Valley.
Police had been looking for a dark colored pickup truck after several reports to 911 about the driver speeding and driving erratically. That's when a pickup truck driven south by Maximilano Flores crossed into the northbound lanes of North Oracle Road about 11:30 a.m. and slammed head-on into another pickup truck near East Pusch View Lane, a news release said.
Both Flores and the driver of the other pickup truck, Raymond Evano, were killed in the wreck, the release said.
Both men were the only occupants of the pickup trucks they were driving.
Close to 43,000 people died in a traffic crash in 2021, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. That's up from about 39,000 deaths in 2020.
