FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: CITY OF CASA GRANDE STATEMENT SENIOR ADULT TRANSPORT VEHICLE INCIDENT.

The City of Casa Grande is deeply saddened to report a tragic incident that occurred earlier this afternoon involving a senior adult transportation vehicle. 

Just before 1:00 p.m., a city staff member transporting patrons to their homes was involved in a traffic incident that resulted in the death of a community member. The event took place in the residential area near Amarillo Street and 3rd Street. 

Emergency responders, including Casa Grande Fire and Police personnel, arrived promptly at the scene. The Casa Grande Police Department initiated an investigation but has since turned the case over to the Department of Public Safety (DPS) for further review. As the investigation continues, the affected roadway will remain closed for several hours. 

Counselors will be available to staff and Senior Center patrons to support our team members and community during this difficult time. Our hearts go out to the family and loved ones of the individual involved in this tragic event.
