On May 13, 2015, just after 1:30 p.m., Tucson police officers responded to a report of a collision involving a motorcycle and a sedan at the intersection of N. Kolb Road and E. Broadway Boulevard.
The investigation revealed the rider of a 2008 Harley Davidson motorcycle, 59-year-old Ronald Sullivan, was northbound on Kolb Road in the left turn lane at Broadway Boulevard, behind another vehicle. The vehicle in front of the rider made a westbound turn on the green light and the rider followed but made a U-turn. The driver of a 2011 Dodge Caliber was southbound on Kolb Road proceeding through the green light and struck the rider. The rider was wearing a helmet.
