A man was killed Tuesday afternoon when the garbage truck he was riding rolled in a single-vehicle wreck near the airport, Tucson police say.

Devin James Kilcoin, 28, was a passenger in a 2004 GMC C7500 garbage truck headed north in the 7500 block of South Alvernon Way about 2 p.m. when police say the truck started to swerve, veered toward the shoulder and eventually rolled over, police said Wednesday in a news release.

Kilcoin died at the crash scene, the release said.

The driver was hospitalized with serious injuries.

The unidentified driver was not impaired and investigators continue to work to determine what led to the crash, the release said.
