DPS makes arrest in Tonopah crash that killed 6, injured 5

The Arizona Department of Public Safety has arrested one woman in connection with the Tonopah crash that killed six people and injured five others, including the suspect, on July 2. The major crash along I-10 involving a semi-truck was the result of the two passenger car drivers making an illegal U-turn, according to officials. Troopers said that the truck rear-ended a Nissan Altima with such force that it split in half. Natisha Moffett, 35, Jo'syia Moffett, 17, Giovanni Thomas-Blakney, 16, Santari Witherspoon, 16, Malik Thomas-Blakney Jr., 8, and Makayla Thomas-Blakney, 5, were the occupants of the sedan and all died in the crash.
