Tucson Police, code lights

A man was struck and killed Friday night in Marana while trying to remove debris from the road, officials say.

Just before 8 p.m., the man, who was in his sixties, had pulled over along West Avra valley Road between Clayton Road and El Paso Gas Road after nearly hitting a dolly in the traffic lanes, Marana police said.

A passing car hit the dolly before the driver could remove it. A second vehicle then struck the man during another attempt to reach the dolly, police said.

The man was declared dead at the scene, police said.
