BUCKEYE, AZ — Three people are dead, including two children, after a crash on Interstate 10 just west of SR-85 in Buckeye.
Buckeye fire officials say they responded to a single-vehicle rollover crash just after 9:30 p.m. Thursday.
It happened in the eastbound lanes of the freeway between Palo Verde Parkway and SR-85.
Department of Public Safety officials say three people were killed in the crash.
They are identified as two boys, ages 6 and 9, and their grandfather, 48-year-old Isreal Vasquez of Phoenix.
