Tractor-trailer crash takes put shed, power pole on Avra Valley Road

"A tractor-trailer driver lost control of his rig this morning in Avra Valley, crashing through three yards and plowing into a shed, a fence, a power pole, a metal equipment barn and coming to rest against a paloverde tree.

The 6:35 a.m. wreck threw 1,900 Tucson Electric Power Co. customers in parts of Marana and Avra Valley out of power for about 2 1/2 hours, said Deputy Dawn Barkman, a sheriff's spokeswoman.

The 49-year-old driver, whose name was not immediately released, was flown to a hospital for treatment of serious injuries, Barkman said, adding no homes were hit and no one else was injured in the crash.

Barkman said the trucker may have fallen asleep while driving east on West Avra Valley Road about two miles west of Interstate 10 near North Longview Avenue."
