A man was killed Tuesday morning when he lost control of his motorcycle on Arivaca Road south of Tucson, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department said.
Deputies withheld the man’s identity pending notification of his relatives.
Deputy Dawn Barkman, a department spokeswoman, wrote in an e-mail that the man lost control of his motorcycle, missed a turn and crashed into a road sign.
Deputies were called at 11:36 a.m. and the man died at the scene, deputies said.
The man was wearing a helmet and there were no apparent signs of alcohol involvement, but investigators believe that speed may have been a factor in the crash, deputies said.
