Tucson, AZ (September 11, 2025) – A traffic accident Tuesday evening at the intersection of W 36th St and S Mission Rd resulted in at least one person being injured and transported to Banner University Medical Center – Main Campus. The collision occurred just after 6:20 PM in the northbound lanes, prompting an emergency response and a temporary road closure to ensure the safety of all involved.
According to reports from the Tucson Police South Division, the injured party was transported with life-sustaining care underway. Medic 15 responded to the scene, where officers quickly began rerouting traffic and closing the northbound lanes of S Mission Rd just south of the 2800 block. Emergency crews coordinated with Sun Tran to manage bus service disruptions during the closure.
Witnesses on the side of the road were approached by police to gather additional information about the circumstances leading up to the crash. While specifics about how many vehicles were involved remain unclear, the fact that the patient required hospital transport indicates the incident was treated as serious.
Multiple units from various divisions assisted with traffic control and investigation. The area remained active for some time as authorities worked to clear the scene and begin preliminary assessments.
We hope for a full and timely recovery for the person injured in this collision.
