Hit And Run Tucson Arizona in Tucson, Arizona: Three University of Arizona students — Sophia Troetel, Josiah Santos, and Katya Castillo-Mendoza — were struck and killed by a car in a crosswalk at Euclid and Second Street in Tucson during the fall of 2025. The crosswalk did not have signals at the time. About an hour after the collision, Louis John Artal, a former U of A student, called 911 and reported hitting three people. Police said he had bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, and the smell of intoxicants on his breath, and he admitted drinking about a half hour before the collision. He faces multiple charges and a judge has set an early November trial date, though defense attorneys say it may be unrealistic as they await the accident reconstruction report.
