Quartzsite, Ariz. • Authorities say a Utah man has been arrested in connection with a wrong-way crash in western Arizona that killed three California women in another vehicle.
Arizona Department of Public Safety officials say 49-year-old Dana Michael Cavanaugh of Washington, Utah, has been booked into jail on suspicion of homicide.
They’re still trying to determine if Cavanaugh was driving impaired at the time of Saturday’s crash on Interstate 10 east of Quartzsite.
It was unclear Monday if Cavanaugh has an attorney yet.
DPS officials say a vehicle entered the interstate going the wrong way and traveled about 500 feet before colliding head-on with another car.
A 55-year-old woman and two 31-year-old women were killed.
Their names haven’t been released yet, but DPS officials say the women all were residents of Riverside, California.
