Authorities identified 51-year-old Justin Schultz Cetas as the man who lost his life following a two-vehicle accident Wednesday afternoon in Tucson. Justin Cetas was MD, PhD and Chair of Neurosurgery at UArizona.
The fatal motorcycle collision took place just after 1 p.m. in the 2900 block of South Kino Parkway. The investigation reports showed that a black 2021 BMW R18 motorcycle and a white 2005 Ford F650 tow truck were involved in the wreck.
The reports also revealed that Justin Schultz Cetas was traveling north on Kino Parkway in the median lane when the driver of a tow truck attempted to make a left turn in front of the motorcyclist. At that point of time, Cetas’ motorcycle struck the rear passenger side of the tow truck. On arrival, first responders rushed the victim to the Banner University Medical Center where he was later declared dead.
The tow truck driver immediately pulled over and cooperated with the investigators. The driver was not impaired at the time of the collision. Failure to yield on the part of tow truck’s driver was the major contributing factor. No other details are available.
An investigation is ongoing.
