Tucson, AZ – Motorcyclist Dies After I-10 Crash Near Speedway Blvd

Tucson, AZ (July 11, 2025) – A fatal collision took place earlier this week involving a motorcycle and two other vehicles on Interstate 10 near Speedway Boulevard.

On July 9, a deadly crash unfolded when a motorcycle collided with the rear of a commercial vehicle on Interstate 10 near the Speedway Boulevard exit. According to the Arizona Department of Public Safety, the impact caused the 21-year-old motorcyclist to fall onto the roadway. A third vehicle traveling behind the motorcyclist then struck the motorcycle and possibly the rider.

Emergency crews were dispatched to the scene shortly after the incident occurred during the morning hours. Despite lifesaving measures, the young motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the site of the accident. The collision led to significant traffic delays in the area as police officers and first responders worked to clear the roadway and investigate the sequence of events. Authorities have not released the identity of the deceased pending family notification. The Arizona Department of Public Safety continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the multi-vehicle collision to determine all contributing factors.

We hope those affected by this tragic accident find strength during this difficult time.

Motorcycle Accidents in Arizona

Motorcycle crashes in Arizona often lead to severe injuries and fatalities due to the limited protection riders have compared to occupants in other vehicles. In 2023, the Arizona Department of Transportation reported over 2,500 motorcycle crashes statewide. Arizona continues to prioritize rider safety with awareness campaigns and driver education programs.

To better understand why these incidents can have such life-altering impacts, here are some of the most common injuries suffered in motorcycle accidents:

• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Motorcyclists face a high risk of head trauma if they are thrown from their bike during a crash. Even with a helmet, the impact can cause serious brain injuries that may lead to cognitive challenges, memory loss, and lifelong care needs.
• Spinal Cord Injuries: A sudden impact can damage the spine, resulting in partial or full paralysis. Victims with spinal cord injuries often require long-term rehabilitation, assistive devices, and ongoing medical support to adapt to new physical limitations.
• Broken Bones and Fractures: Broken arms, legs, ribs, and collarbones are common when a motorcyclist lands hard on the pavement. These injuries may seem minor at first but often require surgery, extensive recovery, and physical therapy.
• Road Rash and Severe Lacerations: When riders slide across the asphalt, their skin can suffer deep abrasions. Road rash can become infected if not treated correctly and may leave lasting scars or require skin grafts.

Motorcyclists and their families should not face these hardships alone. It is important to reach out to a dedicated wrongful death attorney who understands Arizona’s unique laws and can fight for fair compensation. Acting quickly helps protect your rights, gather critical evidence, and ensure you do not get taken advantage of by insurance companies. The sooner you seek legal help, the stronger your claim will be.
