Eastbound Interstate 10 has been reopened after a deadly hit-and-run crash Monday night.

A pickup truck, driven by Randall Wayne Owens, 54, was speeding down the Ray Road ramp onto eastbound I-10 when the driver swerved to avoid a slow moving car, an Arizona Department of Public Safety spokesman said.

That maneuver somehow caused a woman, later identified as Celia Ester Owens, 44, riding in the truck who was not wearing a seat belt to be ejected, and she was struck by another pickup, the spokesman said.
