Fatal accident at Valencia and Houghton

I was driving back to the TV station after the video shoot today (1/16/15) with show host Tina, and we happened upon what looked like a pretty serious traffic accident at Valencia Road and Houghton in the southeast part of Tucson.

There wasn't a lot of traffic at that intersection when we got there, so it didn't delay us much.

I handed my camera to Tina, and she took a couple of pictures since I was driving. I didn't know until I got back to the station and checked Twitter that unfortunately, someone died in the crash.

I always think accident scenes look exciting, but I never wish anyone to be hurt or killed.

The intersection was shut down to east and west traffic for hours while investigators worked on the scene.

It appeared to be a pretty violent accident.
RIP to the victim who didn't survive.
