What Happened on East Bilby Road
Officers and Tucson Fire crews responded to the 1000 block of East Bilby Road, near Park Avenue, just after 8 p.m. The Tucson Police Department said Ramirez was walking east on the north side of the road when a westbound Toyota Corolla struck him. Police said the car partially left its lane and veered onto the shoulder, where Ramirez was walking. Police said the area had no sidewalks or streetlights, and that it was raining with water on the roadway. Ramirez was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries and died four days later. The 21-year-old woman driving the car was not injured.
