Courts and Criminal Charges

Alleged drag racers in Tucson were charged with murder after a high-speed crash split a passenger car in half, killing a 3-year-old girl and seriously injuring her pregnant mother in a recent collision on Tucson roadways. Police have described the crash as the result of illegal street racing that led to the catastrophic impact; local authorities say the force of the collision effectively severed the vehicle and left the community reeling as the family grieves.
