NTSB Links Fatigue to Fatal Arizona Crash
A National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) report has concluded that driver fatigue was a significant factor in a February 2023 crash in Goodyear, Arizona, that resulted in the deaths of two bicyclists and injuries to 14 others. The report indicated that Pedro Quintana-Lujan, 27, exhibited a 'diminished state of alertness' and failed to respond appropriately as the crash unfolded, compounded by his excessive speed. Despite initially facing serious charges, including manslaughter, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office opted not to pursue felony charges due to insufficient evidence of THC-induced impairment, as Arizona law lacks a clear threshold for such cases. Subsequently, Quintana-Lujan has been charged with 11 misdemeanors and is awaiting a pre-trial conference set for October 16. Investigators found no mechanical issues with his vehicle, contradicting his claims of a steering malfunction at the time of the incident.
