APACHE JUNCTION, AZ — A 45-year-old man from Peoria has turned himself in to authorities after the Arizona Department of Public Safety says he was involved in a deadly hit-and-run crash in Apache Junction Sunday morning.

DPS officials say the crash happened around 7:40 a.m. on US 60 eastbound near the Meridian Road off-ramp.

Troopers say Robert Moyer was seen driving a white single-cab dually flatbed pickup truck with black rails.

Moyer was arrested Monday and faces charges that include leaving the scene of a deadly crash.

Officials say a 16-year-old girl from Mesa was walking along the freeway when she was struck by the truck and killed.

That girl has not been identified.
