FATAL VEHICLE COLLISION
EAST GERSHON LANE AND SOUTH HARRISON ROAD |
|
|
On February 11, 2024, shortly after 12:30 a.m., officers from Operations Division East and personnel from the Tucson Fire Department responded to E. Gershon Ln. and S. Harrison Rd. for the report of a single-vehicle collision involving a white 2002 Acura RSX. The adult male driver was pronounced deceased at the scene. He has been identified as 21-year-old Cody William Duncan-Olivas. Next of kin has been notified of his passing.
Detectives from the Traffic Investigations Unit responded to the scene to continue the investigation. After conducting interviews and evaluating roadway evidence, detectives determined that Mr. Duncan-Olivas was northbound on S. Harrison Rd. in the median lane at a high rate of speed when he lost control of his vehicle, eventually driving off the roadway and striking a metal power pole.
Excessive speed and failure to reduce/control speed to avoid a collision are the known contributing factors of the collision at this time. Detectives noted that wet roadways and poor tire tread also contributed to the collision.
This is an ongoing investigation.
