Arizona Department of Public Safety officials say two people died after the crash and at least two others were hospitalized. The two people killed have been identified as 48-year-old David Ortiz De Jesus and 46-year-old Yesenia Morales De Castillo.
DPS says two cars were both parked at a red light at the Country Club Drive off-ramp when a white Ford pickup truck failed to stop for the red light and rear-ended one of them, pushing it into the other. Debris from the crash also hit the right side of a pickup truck waiting for the red light.
The driver of the Ford pickup truck was hospitalized but has since been arrested and identified as 39-year-old Brett Quadlin. DPS says impairment is suspected.
Quadlin faces charges of manslaughter, endangerment, aggravated assault, and leaving the scene of a deadly crash.
