One dead in crash on SR 195 in San Luis, Arizona

SAN LUIS, Ariz. (KYMA) - The San Luis, Arizona Police Department (SLPD) is investigating a crash which left one person dead.

According to a post on Facebook, the crash happened on State Route (SR) 195, near milepost 8, before 7:30 a.m. Tuesday.

SLPD says an unrelated crash happened near milepost 9, causing a traffic build up which "led to a slow down in all traffic."

During the slow down, SLPD says a black 2023 BMW SUV lost control as it was driving eastbound on SR 195 and hit a 2015 Harley Davidson motorcycle.

SLPD says both the BMW SUV and the Harley Davidson "left the roadway and ended up on the dirt median."

The motorcyclist, identified as 28-year-old Andres Ramirez of San Luis, Arizona, was taken to Onvida Health, where he later died, SLPD says.

While no other serious injuries were reported, and while neither speed nor alcohol appeared to be factors in the crash, SLPD says the investigation is ongoing.

If anyone has information regarding the case, call SLPD at (928) 341-2420 or 78-CRIME to remain anonymous.
