Tucson, AZ – Oscar Zazueta Martinez Fatally Injured in Crash on W 36th St

Tucson, AZ (September 10, 2020) – A pedestrian accident in Pima County claimed one person’s life on Sunday. On September 6, the Tucson Fire Department responded to the scene of a crash on West 36th Street.

Reports show that a group of pedestrians were in a parking lot standing next to a parked vehicle in the 3200 block of West 36th Street when they were struck by a white 2019 Dodge Ram pickup truck. The speeding vehicle continued forward over large boulders and rolled over onto its roof.

Emergency crews responded to the scene of the crash and rendered aid to injured victims. One of the victims, who was identified as 42-year-old Oscar Zazueta Martinez, succumbed to his injuries at the site of the accident. An unknown number of injured parties were transported to area hospitals for further treatment. The driver of the pickup truck was uninjured in the accident.

At this time, the crash remains under investigation.

We would like to offer our condolences to the family of Oscar Zazueta Martinez.

Our thoughts are with the victims injured in this accident.

Now, more than 250 pedestrians lose their lives in auto accidents throughout Arizona each year in these preventable collisions.

Thousands of pedestrians throughout the United States are fatally injured in pedestrian accidents due to the negligent actions of drivers.
