A woman is dead and her daughter was in serious condition Saturday after the SUV they were in crashed head-on with a pickup truck driving the wrong way on US 60 in Apache Junction, authorities said.
The crash, which also sent the pickup driver to a trauma center with serious injuries, occurred about 9:50 p.m. Jan. 20 on eastbound US 60 at approximately milepost 199, according to the Arizona Department of Public Safety.
DPS began receiving calls about 9:35 p.m. of a blue pickup truck driving “all over the road” on US-60 at approximately milepost 200, officials stated in a release.
A short time later, callers began telling DPS the truck was traveling the wrong way, driving eastbound in the westbound lanes of traffic. Then about 9:48 p.m., callers said the truck was driving westbound in the eastbound lanes of traffic.
A short time later, the collision occurred, officials said.
“Impairment is being investigated as a possible factor in this investigation; however, the investigation is still very active at this time,” DPS stated in its release.
