Tucson Police, code lights

A 67-year-old man was killed in a two-vehicle crash Thursday night at the intersection of East Fort Lowell Road and North Columbus Boulevard, police say. 

The Tucson Police Department gave the following account in a news release: 

A green 2014 Subaru Forester and a red 1999 Honda CR-V collided shortly before 7 p.m. Nov. 20 at the intersection.

First-responders pronounced the driver of the Forester, Jonas Ramanavicius, dead at the scene.

The other driver, a woman whose name was not released, was taken to a hospital with serious injuries.

Traffic detectives determined the Forester was headed east on Fort Lowell when the CR-V, going west on Fort Lowell, attempted to make a left  turn onto southbound Columbus and collided with the Forester.  

The CR-V driver's failure to yield when making a left turn was the major contributing factor in the collision, police said. The investigation  continues and no charges or citations have been issued.
