A multiple-vehicle crash closed 12th Avenue in both directions from Drexel to Canada Thursday evening around 6:30 p.m.
Tucson police say 62-year-old Oscar Hernandez was seriously injured in this crash and died three days later in a hospital. Hernandez was not using or near a crosswalk when crossing the street.
The driver stayed at the scene and has not been cited. Officers say speed was not a factor in the crash.
The road was reopened around 9 p.m.
