The three-vehicle collision at State Route 347 and Papago Road left one person dead.

A vehicle hit and killed an off-duty DPS officer in Kingman on Wednesday night.

The incident happened along the Interstate 10 near Prince Road in Tucson late Tuesday evening.

The crash happened on the Interstate 10 near 83rd Avenue, according to the Arizona Department of Public Safety. The person has not been identified.

DPS said the wrong-way driver is a 44-year-old woman from Phoenix. Both she and the other driver suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

She was also a 2021 Minnesota Twins Education Hero nominee, 2018 Minnesota Teacher of the Year candidate, 2017 VFW Teacher of the Year at the local and district levels, 2016 NJPA (Sourcewell) Teachers of Excellence award winner and 2005 teacher of the year for Maddock Public Schools.

Three girls and two boys were on Arizona State Route 68 approaching the Colorado River at high speed when the driver ran a red light, lost control and collided with four other vehicles, according to Bullhead City PD.

DPS officials said the vehicle was suspected of speeding and reckless driving on Interstate 17 and then failed to yield to a traffic stop.

The incident happened shortly after 1:30 a.m. Thursday on Interstate 10 in the area of 27th Avenue in Phoenix.

DPS officials say a portion of I-17 North is closed in the Anthem area as a result of a deadly rollover crash
