TUCSON, Ariz. A 25-year old man is dead after a fatal vehicle collision Monday afternoon.
Tuscon Police said Victor Ortega Brito was traveling southbound on N. Freeway Road and collided with two vehicles in an intersection.
Tucson Fire personnel were on scene and rendered aid to Brito.
Brito was transported to Banner University Medical Center with life-threatening injuries and later died from them.
Tucson Police say the investigation is ongoing and no charges or citations have been issued.
According to authorities, no signs of impairment were found in the other two vehicles but excessive speed by Britto does appear to be a contributing factor to the collision.
A 25-year-old man was killed in a three-vehicle crash Monday afternoon near Interstate 10, Tucson police said.
Victor Ortega Brito died at Banner-University Medical Center shortly after the crash, which occurred just before 12:30 p.m. on North Freeway Road and West Speedway.
Police said Brito was driving south on the freeway access road when for unknown reasons his vehicle, a 1996 Nissan Maxima, struck a 2018 Subaru Impreza that was stopped at the light at Speedway. Brito s vehicle then swerved into the left turn lane and struck the back of a dump truck that was also stopped at the light.
Speed does appear to be a contributing factor, Tucson police said. The drivers of the Subaru and dump truck showed no signs of impairment, police said.
