TUCSON, Ariz. — The Tucson Police Department is investigating a deadly motorcycle crash that happened Sunday near midtown.
Police say officers responded to the intersection of East Prince Road and North First Avenue around 9 p.m. for report of a serious-injury crash involving a motorcycle and passenger car.
Tucson Fire crews were on scene and rendered aid to the motorcyclist before taking him to Banner University Medical Center, where he later died.
Police identified the motorcyclist as 21-year-old Dylan Wilke.
Detectives determined Wilke was riding his 2004 Yamaha Sport Motorcycle eastbound on Prince Road in the median lane as he entered the intersection at First Ave on a green light, the driver of a 2002 Honda CRV was traveling westbound and made a left turn in front of Wilke.
Wilke and the driver of the Honda CRV collided.
