TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — One woman has died following a crash on Grant Road in Tucson Monday, police say.

Officers responded to the 1900 block of W. Grant Road, near N. Jordan Drive at around 10:30 p.m. for a report of a pedestrian struck by a vehicle. Upon arrival, officers identified the pedestrian as a woman in her 60s.

The woman was taken to Banner University Medical Center with life-threatening injuries, police say. Shortly after arriving, she was pronounced dead.
