Arizona law enforcement continued their efforts to maintain public safety during New Year’s Day. Troopers handled a crash that took place at Interstate 10 and 75th Avenue.
Four individuals were arrested for DUI, including a 25-year-old man from Flagstaff suspected of impairment and a 22-year-old woman from Phoenix. The crash resulted in a backup of vehicles.
Bart Graves is with the Arizona Department of Public Safety.
“As a result of the road closure and backup during the collision investigation, several secondary collisions with impaired drivers occurred. Two drivers found to be asleep at the wheel are actually arrested for DUI, alcohol,” he said.
Graves also said a gunshot victim was found in a passenger car in the backup. The Phoenix police will handle the shooting investigation.
