Oro Valley, AZ (November 13, 2019) – Two people were killed in a three-vehicle crash in Oro Valley on Wednesday, police said.
According to officers from the Oro Valley Police Department, officials responded to a report of a multi-vehicle crash on North Shannon Road and West Sahuaro Divide around 3:45 p.m. Sgt. Carmen Trevizo, a department spokeswoman, said that two occupants in an Acura Integra were pronounced dead after police arrived at the scene of the crash. The driver of a GMC Sierra was transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The driver of a Buick car refused transport, Trevizo said in a news release from Oro Valley.
