Tragic Accident at Tangerine Road and La Cañada Drive
On the morning of August 21, 2019, just after 9 a.m., a tragic three-vehicle collision occurred at the intersection of Tangerine Road and La Cañada Drive. The Oro Valley Police Department (OVPD) quickly responded to the scene.
Sadly, one victim, an 85-year-old man, was pronounced dead at the site of the accident. Another elderly woman, who was in the same vehicle, was taken to Banner UMC with critical injuries. Our thoughts go out to their families, as she, unfortunately, passed away later due to her injuries.
Two other individuals involved in the collision were also taken to the hospital but, thankfully, are expected to recover from their non-life-threatening injuries.
The OVPD Traffic Unit is actively investigating the incident, and it’s important to note that drugs or alcohol are not suspected to have played a role. As the investigation is still ongoing, more information will be shared when available.
