How they died

Other

Around 8:30 p.m., a trooper responded to help a driver whose passengers said they believed they were low on fuel and would not make it into Wickenburg. The trooper said he would follow them to make sure they arrived safely. As the trooper followed the SUV, a third other was speeding and passing vehicles while in a no-passing zone. The third other then struck the SUV, causing it to roll over, and also hit the trooper's patrol other. One person inside the third other was killed. Two of its other passengers were taken to hospitals with injuries. One passenger in the first other, the SUV, was killed.
