Investigators determined that the Nissan Altima was traveling south on Harrison at a high rate of speed, said Sgt. Pete Dugan, a Tucson Police Department spokesman. As the Altima crossed Pikes Peak, it collided with the driver’s side of the Mustang, which was headed east across South Harrison Road.

Excessive speed appears to be a factor in the collision, Dugan wrote in a news release.
