80-year-old woman killed in October car crash dies this weekend

An 80-year-old woman who was involved in a car accident on October 20 died from her injuries this weekend.

The woman, identified as Guadalupe Garcia, was attempting to turn left in her Ford Focus from eastbound Broadway to northbound Columbus Boulevard just after 12:30 p.m. According to a news release from the Tucson Police Department, she was struck by a Ford Escape driven by 22-year-old Huntre Blake Shepherd, who was traveling northbound on Columbus in his Ford Escape.

Garcia was transported to Banner University Main, where she died from her injuries on Saturday, November 2. Shepherd was also taken to the hospital with minor injuries.

Neither driver was injured at the time, the news release said.

Shepherd was arrested on October 30 on suspicion of aggravated assault. Because Garcia has now died, the case will be referred to the Pima County Prosecutor’s Office.
