Two Tucson Motorcyclists Die in Separate Crashes

A 26-year-old motorcyclist, Cedricc Theanthonii Joe, died after a collision with a Kia at South Campbell Avenue and East Cochise Vista in Tucson on Oct. 14.

The Kia driver was uninjured, was not impaired, and remained at the scene; the investigation is ongoing, with no arrests or citations reported. Separately, 72-year-old Robert Clell Hatfield died Oct. 12 from injuries sustained in an Oct. 3 motorcycle crash near Silverbell and Trico roads. Investigators are examining whether speed contributed to Hatfield’s crash.
