Tucson Man Dies In Car Crash With Sun Tran Bus: Police

TUCSON, AZ — A man has died after his car collided with a Sun Tran Bus in Tucson on Sunday, police said.

The Tucson Police Department said in a news release that officers were called to the intersection of N. Arcadia Avenue and E. Pima Street at 8:45 a.m. on reports of a crash involving two cars and a bus.

Tucson Fire Department members were already on the scene tending to the driver of a blue 2006 GMC Sierra. The driver, identified as 61-year-old Clay Starr, died. Three other people were transported to Tucson Medical Center and Saint Joseph's Hospital for minor injuries. All others were treated at the scene.

Traffic detectives took over the investigation and determined that Starr was traveling south on Arcadia. As he approached Pima, he continued through the intersection and failed to stop at a posted stop sign, colliding with the Sun Tran bus. A black 2001 Ford Expedition tried to avoid the crash and swerved, crossing lanes and hitting a building.

The investigation is ongoing, police said. No charges or citations have been issued.
