Sheriff’s deputies have released the name of a man who died Monday after rolling his car on Gates Pass Road, a Pima County Sheriff’s Department spokeswoman said Tuesday.
The driver was Jesus R. Jaimez, 21, of the 300 block of West 31st Street, said Deputy Nicole Feldt. His name was withheld until family could be notified of his death.
Jaimez was speeding at the time of the rollover, Feldt said, adding that alcohol might also be a factor.
He was driving a Chevy Malibu west on Gates Pass about 5:30 p.m. when he veered off the road just west of the eastern entrance to Tucson Mountain Park, Feldt said.
The driver overcorrected, the car rolled and he was partly ejected, she said.
Jaimez was taken by air ambulance to University Medical Center where he died shortly after arriving.
