TUCSON, Ariz. (February 1, 2022) – Wednesday, 75 years old Joseph Edward Parker was killed in a car crash on Speedway Boulevard.

The car accident happened at the intersection of East Speedway Boulevard and North Wilmot Road. Emergency services arrived at the scene shortly thereafter.

Parker was reportedly the driver of a white 2007 Nissan Altima that collided with a blue 2003 Honda Civic. Investigators say the Nissan was heading west toward a red light at the intersection.

For reasons unknown, Parker accidentally accelerated instead of braking and crashed into the blue 2003 Honda Civic. As a result, the Nissan then crashed into a blue 2021 Chevrolet Colorado and pushed the Chevrolet into a silver 2003 Hyundai Tiburon.

EMTs later pronounced Parker dead after he was taken to Banner-University Medical Center for further evaluation.
