TUCSON, Ariz. (13 News) - A man died days after being hit by a vehicle near Speedway and Wilmot in Tucson.

The Tucson Police Department said 72-year-old Marion Maciejewski was hit while crossing Speedway at North Rook Avenue on May 23. The TPD said on June 3, officers were notified Maciejewski passed away.
