October 22, 2020
TUCSON, AZ – A man has died several days after being struck by a pickup truck while riding his bike in central Tucson last week.
According to KGUN, 49-year-old Henry Varelas died in the hospital Tuesday from injuries sustained in an auto vs. bicycle crash near the intersection of North Balboa Avenue and Blacklidge Drive.
Tucson Police believe Varelas failed to stop at an intersection while riding his motorized bicycle and was struck by a pickup truck. He was transported to Banner University Medical Center where he died this week.
Varelas had not been wearing his helmet at the time of the collision.
Police do not believe the driver involved was intoxicated. No charges are expected to be filed against that individual at this time.

I’ve been working at Phillips Law Group for nearly four years and I can confidently say this is the best personal injury firm in Arizona to work for. The firm is the best for numerous reasons but to start, Phillips Law Group gives employees opportunities for promotions and growth. I started working within the settlement department, moved to a paralegal assistant and grew to be a pre-litigation paralegal with my own case load. Each attorney I have worked for is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to talk to. Secondly, I love how Phillips Law shows appreciation for employees. They host Friday Zoom Huddles giving out PTO, goodie bags, special shout outs, bonuses and gift cards. They also host extravagant holiday parties and fun contests during the Holidays! Lastly, the firm cares about giving back to the community, which is a trait I value as well. It’s rewarding to see a fast paced firm taking time out of their busy day to pay it forward. I would highly recommend working at Phillips Law Group!
