On Sunday, January 18, 2026, a two-vehicle collision in midtown Tucson claimed the life of a young woman and left two others injured. The crash occurred just before 9 a.m. at the intersection of East 22nd Street and South Euclid Avenue, a busy corridor on the city’s east side.
According to the Tucson Police Department, a 28-year-old woman, later identified as Angela Marie King, was driving a silver Mitsubishi Mirage eastbound on 22nd Street. A preliminary investigation indicates that her vehicle was struck by a larger pickup truck, described as a Ford, that was traveling northbound on Euclid Avenue.
The force of the impact was significant, causing major damage to the driver’s side of the Mitsubishi Mirage. Emergency crews from the Tucson Fire Department responded swiftly to the intersection. Angela Marie King, the sole occupant of the Mitsubishi, was pronounced dead at the scene by responding paramedics.
The driver and a passenger in the Ford pickup truck sustained injuries and were transported to a local hospital for treatment. Tucson Police have confirmed that their injuries are non-life-threatening, and both individuals are expected to make a full recovery. The identities of the occupants of the pickup truck have not been released.
The Tucson Police Department’s Traffic Investigations Unit has taken over the case. Detectives are working to determine the exact cause of the crash, including which vehicle had the right of way and whether factors like speed, impairment, or distracted driving played a role. The intersection of 22nd Street and Euclid Avenue was closed for several hours as investigators documented the scene, collected evidence, and cleared the wreckage.
The sudden and tragic death of Angela Marie King has left her family, friends, and the Tucson community in mourning. As the investigation continues, authorities urge anyone who witnessed the crash or has relevant dashcam footage to contact the Tucson Police Department to assist in providing answers to her grieving loved ones.
