SURPRISE, AZ — Two people are dead after a crash on the U.S. 60 at Mountain View Boulevard in Surprise Friday morning.

Arizona Department of Public Safety troopers originally called it a two-vehicle crash, but have since said three were involved.

DPS officials say a pickup truck was traveling westbound when it side-swiped two other vehicles.

They say a pickup truck that was involved in the crash rolled over, ejecting one person from the truck. That person was pronounced dead at the scene.

Another passenger in the truck was found inside the vehicle and pronounced dead due to blunt force trauma.

ABC15 aerial footage shows the truck in an embankment next to the road with severe front-end damage.

DPS has not said if anyone else was hurt.

The victims have not yet been identified. The crash is still under investigation.
