The Tucson Police Department has now identified the motorcyclist who was killed in a crash on Saturday, March 16th.
Officers say 34-year-old Carlos Lopez was driving in the median lane heading westbound on St. Mary’s Rd. near N. Freeway, when a Hyundai trying to make a left onto the freeway crashed into him.
Lopez who was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash was taken to the hospital in critical condition, but died from his injuries.
Investigators on the scene determined the driver of the Hyundai, 33-year-old Daniela Marquez-Batista was not impaired at the time of the crash, but also did not have the right of way when she hit Lopez.
Officers later learned Lopez did not have a valid drivers license at the time of the collision.
Marquez-Batista was cited with Causing Death by Moving Violation.
