A 58-year-old woman was killed early Saturday when the SUV she was riding smashed into a utility pole, Tucson police say.
The crash happened just before 2 a.m. in the 2800 block of North Campbell Avenue, near East Glenn Street.
Georgia Ann Chavez, a passenger in the 2004 Nissan Armada, was killed in the wreck. The driver, an unidentified 44-year-old man, was taken to the hospital, police said Sunday in a news release.
Evidence at the scene indicates the Nissan was speeding north on Campbell when the SUV crossed into the southbound lanes, left the road and struck the pole, the release said.
An evaluation for impairment by police could not be completed on the driver at the hospital "due to his medical condition," police said.
The crash still is being investigated.
