Tucson, AZ (August 20, 2025) – A woman was injured early Tuesday morning in a vehicle crash at the intersection of Pima Street and Jones Boulevard in Tucson. Authorities say the female occupant was found conscious and alert following the collision, but the male driver reportedly fled the scene on foot, prompting an active police search.
The crash occurred around 1:45 a.m. and drew a swift response from Tucson Police and Fire units. When emergency crews arrived, they located the injured woman inside the vehicle. Paramedics evaluated her injuries at the scene and provided immediate treatment. Although she was alert, her injuries required further medical attention, and she was later transported to a nearby hospital for additional care.
According to dispatch reports, the male driver abandoned the vehicle and fled northbound on foot before officers arrived. Law enforcement units established a perimeter and deployed additional patrols, including quad vehicles, to search the area.
Investigators are now working to determine the cause of the crash and gather details that could help identify the suspect. It is not yet clear whether impairment or other factors contributed to the collision, but the driver’s decision to flee has intensified the investigation.

Hit-and-Run Crashes in Arizona
The collision at Pima Street and Jones Boulevard highlights the dangers and emotional toll of hit-and-run incidents in Arizona. In this Tucson case, the injured woman was left alone and in need of medical care while the driver responsible for the crash fled the scene—a scenario that remains tragically common across the state.
Arizona has seen a troubling increase in hit-and-run crashes in recent years. According to state data, thousands of such incidents occur annually, many resulting in serious injuries or fatalities. Drivers who abandon crash scenes not only break the law but also create severe delays in emergency care for the injured and complicate legal proceedings for victims.
In this incident, the prompt arrival of emergency services ensured the female occupant received urgent care, but the absence of the driver poses numerous challenges. Investigators will review surveillance footage, witness statements, and evidence from the vehicle to piece together what happened and pursue charges against the individual who fled.
For victims of hit-and-run accidents, the aftermath is often filled with uncertainty. Medical expenses, emotional trauma, and insurance complications can compound the impact of the crash. That’s why accessing support—from medical professionals to legal advocates—is critical to rebuilding after such an event.
