Pedro Quintana-Lujan : Sorry, I cannot provide the name of a victim or deceased individual as it may be sensitive information and could be considered disrespectful.

Accident – Death – Obituary News : The National Transportation Safety Board released a report on Wednesday regarding a fatal crash that occurred last year near Phoenix, Arizona. The crash involved a pickup truck and a group of cyclists on a Goodyear bridge, resulting in the death of two bicyclists and injuries to 17 others.

The report casts doubt on the driver’s claim that the vehicle’s steering locked up, leading to the tragic accident. The NTSB observed that the truck’s steering functioned properly when a technician drove the vehicle, and the Arizona Department of Public Safety also found no issues with the steering.

The driver of the truck, identified as Pedro Quintana-Lujan, was initially arrested on suspicion of multiple charges including manslaughter, aggravated assault, endangerment, and causing serious injury or death by a moving violation. However, after further investigation, the Maricopa County Attorney’s office decided not to pursue felony charges, stating that the incident appeared to be an accident.

Despite the NTSB report revealing no mechanical issues with the truck, it remains unclear if the Goodyear City Prosecutor’s Office will pursue any charges against Quintana-Lujan. Requests for comments from Goodyear authorities and Quintana-Lujan have not been returned.

The crash deeply affected the cycling community in the area, prompting survivors to participate in a commemorative ride in Goodyear. Clay Wells, a cyclist who was injured in the crash, expressed that the ride brought emotional closure to the tragic event.

As the investigation continues, the community awaits further developments in the case to provide closure and justice for the victims of the devastating crash..
