CASA GRANDE, Ariz. — A 9-month-old infant, a 3-year-old girl, and their great-grandfather are dead after a crash on Interstate 10 near Casa Grande Wednesday morning, the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) said.
DPS troopers also said that another infant, a 5-year-old boy, a 13-year-old girl and a woman were taken to a Valley hospital after the crash.
The vehicle, a pickup truck with South Carolina license plates, was traveling westbound on I-10 when it went into the median for an unknown reason, troopers said. The driver reportedly over-corrected, causing the vehicle to roll.
DPS has identified the deceased as 74-year-old John Henry White and his two great-grandchildren.
The wounded victims included the mother of the two children and the 9-month-old twin brother of the deceased infant. DPS said the family was traveling to the West Valley.
A DPS spokesperson said apparently "no one in the vehicle was wearing seat belts."
The crash previously caused the partial closure of the I-10 westbound lanes near State Route 387, the Arizona Department of Transportation said.
