A 34-year-old woman was killed, and two other people were injured Wednesday afternoon in a two-vehicle crash, Tucson police said.
The crash happened about 2:30 p.m., when Crystal Marie Cruz was driving a Dodge Neon and struck a Toyota SUV at North Stone Avenue and East Drachman Street, police said in a news release.
Cruz and her unidentified passenger, who was thrown from the car on impact, were taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries. Cruz died shortly after arriving at the hospital, the release said.
The driver of the Toyota Highlander in the crash was not injured and a passenger was treated at the scene for a minor injury, the release said.
The Toyota was turning left through a yellow light at Drachman while headed south on Stone when it was struck by the northbound Dodge, the preliminary investigation shows.
