A motorcycle crash on Monday claimed the life of one rider and left the other in serious condition after a collision with a car. 

According to officials, the two were riding the motorcycle in the northbound lane on South Alvernon Way when the driver of the motorcycle ran a red light. The motorcycle crashed into a car that was making a left turn at the intersection. The driver of the car was taken to the hospital for evaluation, but her one-year-old child was not injured in the accident. The 36-year-old passenger of the motorcycle was killed in the crash, while the driver of the motorcycle was hospitalized with serious injuries.

A 23 year-old Tucson man recently brought his suit against the University Medical Center to trial after the hospital allegedly removed a testicle without the proper grounds to do so.

According to the plaintiff, the hospital informed the man that the biopsy on his right testicle would end in its removal if the surgeon found the testicle to be cancerous. The doctor had found a peculiar mass during an ultrasound, and wanted to ensure that the seemingly tumorous growth was not malignant. Following the procedure, the patient awoke to find the testicle missing, and assumed that it was cancerous. However, in a follow-up discussion with his physician, the man learned that the mass was not cancerous.

The hospital has defended their actions, claiming that they told the plaintiff that the surgery was specifically an excisional biopsy prior to the procedure. A nurse corroborated the doctor's claim, stating that the plaintiff told the nurse that he was there to have the testicle removed.

Currently, the trial is underway.

Four people were injured in a multi-vehicle crash in Bullhead City, Arizona Saturday.

Bullhead City Fire Department spokesman Larry Tunforss said the driver's side door of one vehicle was heavily damaged and the driver was trapped inside.

Firefighters had to use the Jaws of Life to remove the door of the vehicle and another tool was used to raise the dashboard so the woman could be freed. 

The driver was transported by helicopter to Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas in stable condition. A 9 year-old boy in the front seat was transported to Western Arizona Regional Medical with minor injuries, where he was treated and released.

On Wednesday afternoon, a Tucson school bus was rear-ended while stopping, leaving one person injured. All six children and all three adults on the bus were unharmed. The school bus is equipped with seat belts for the driver and passengers.

 The bus was rear-ended while completing its after-school route when it stopped for a railroad crossing. The driver behind the bus failed to stop in time and rear-ended the bus before the crossing. Another driver several cars back rear-ended a car stopping as well. All school buses must stop at railroad crossings to ensure that a train is not approaching and that the bus has enough clearance to safely and completely cross the tracks. It is against the law to pass a stopped school bus.

Rear-end collisions can cause severe injury to those involved, including head trauma and whiplash. If you or someone you know has been hurt in a rear-end collision, you may have grounds to pursue a lawsuit for your accident-related costs.
