TUCSON, AZ : Vail community calls for change after tragic crash on Tuesday, January 10th 2017

Just one day after a deadly rollover crash south of Tucson, the community in Vail is calling for change.

A small memorial is already forming at the crash site where a 16-year-old boy died on Houghton Road near Andrada Road.

The teen, who was a student at Pantano High School, was a passenger in a car with four other people when the 25-year-old driver lost control. The car rolled multiple times and both the teen and the driver were ejected.

That driver was taken to the hospital, and the three other passengers suffered minor injuries.

Investigators believe alcohol and speeding were factors in the crash.

On social media, community members are reminding parents to talk to their children about staying safe on the road.

According to a Facebook post in one neighborhood group, the Santa Rita Foothills Community Association, Pima County Supervisor Steve Christy is planning to visit the crash site on Thursday morning.

The post says the supervisor will be meeting with concerned citizens and community leaders at Pantano High School’s conference room at 8:45 a.m. to hear from the community.
