A 46-year-old motorcyclist was killed in a crash Sunday morning in midtown Tucson.Â
Tucson police were called to the 2100 block of North Euclid Avenue, south of Grant Road, just after 9 a.m. on Feb. 19 for a report of a crash involving a 2008 Harley-Davidson motorcycle and a 2000 Cadillac DeVille.Â
Detectives learned that the motorcyclist, Librado Gutierrez, was speeding south on Euclid when he failed to negotiate a curve and struck the northbound Cadillac.Â
Gutierrez died at the scene. He was wearing a helmet and had the proper motorcycle endorsement, police said.
