BUCKEYE, AZ - Officials have identified a woman who was killed and a man who was seriously hurt in a crash on Interstate 10 west of Buckeye Thursday morning.

The vehicle veered off the right side of the roadway, traveled about 150 feet south of I-10, and rolled several times.
John was ejected and died at the scene.
John Petro, 31, was also ejected and suffered serious injuries. An 8-year-old girl and a 5-year-old boy sustained non-life threatening injuries.
