This incident I first saw reported in the Northeast Intelligence Network.
Also reporting are azstarnet.com , TucsonCitizen.com,
From the TucsonCitizen (emphasis mine):
Two men critically injured when their truck slammed into a rising gate at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base have been identified. Police still do not know why the driver apparently tried to run the South Swan Road gate, a Tucson police spokesman said this morning.

A .45-caliber revolver was found under the driver's feet and a small amount of "white, powdery substance," suspected cocaine, was found on the driver, Robinson said, adding, "there also was a very distinct odor of alcohol in the cab of the truck when investigating officers got there."

Then again... things aren't always what they seem. Could it have been a diversion for others to enter the AFB undetected? Why else do such a suicidal thing?
Definitely a mystery...
