A 25-year-old driver impaired by drugs hit and killed a bicyclist early Wednesday morning, a police official said.

Late Wednesday afternoon investigators were still trying to identify the woman killed just before 6 a.m. while riding her bicycle near downtown, said Officer Brandon Tatum, a spokesman for the Tucson Police Department.

The woman was riding her bicycle westbound on Speedway just west of the intersection of North Main Avenue, when Gerardo Luna Cazares ran a red light and struck her, Tatum said.

Cazares, who also was traveling westbound, came to a stop after striking a parked car at North 13th Avenue, Tatum said.

“Drugs were determined to be factor in collision on behalf of driver,” Tatum said.
