MOHAVE COUNTY, Ariz. — Two Utah teenagers involved in a single-vehicle rollover on Interstate 15 in northern Arizona were killed when their SUV went off the road and crashed into a hillside Saturday afternoon.
Officers and emergency personnel were dispatched to the crash northbound I-15 near mile marker 12, a few miles north of Littlefield, Arizona.
A passerby called 911 after they witnessed the small SUV veering to the right, at what the witness described as a high rate of speed, before it crashed into the side of a hill several yards from the roadway, trooper Steve Hughes of the Arizona Department of Public Safety said.
Upon arrival officers found the teenage driver and passenger fatally injured in the crash, and once emergency medical personnel arrived, both were pronounced dead at the scene.
According to witness statements, the vehicle was heading north on I-15 and cut across both lanes of travel before it went off the soft shoulder to the right.
