A Goodyear woman was killed in a two-vehicle, head-on collision on State Route 74 ended in a fatality Oct. 23.

Crystal Tena, 43, was killed when the 2023 Ford Bronco she was driving collided head on with a Dodge Ram truck about 11:57 a.m.

Preliminary investigation shows the driver of the Dodge was traveling eastbound, intending to pass on the left of slower vehicles traveling ahead of them. The driver of the Ford was traveling westbound on State Route 74 when both vehicles collided head on.

The driver of the Dodge was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries. Tena was pronounced dead at the scene.
