DPS: Impairment suspected in wrong-way crash on I-10
A 20-year-old woman, Dominque Goodmond, of Litchfield Park, was driving a rental vehicle westbound in the eastbound lanes of I-10 when it collided head-on with another vehicle in the righthand lane after she drove through the tunnel, Raul Garcia, an Arizona Department of Public Safety spokesman said.
Wrong-way driver blamed for crash on Interstate 10
"We're doing everything that we can," said Garcia. "I can tell you from looking at some of these reports that ADOT was contacted immediately. DPS dispatchers obviously calling our officers to get out to the scene and everyone was in response. My understanding is that local law enforcement was also trying to get an aircraft up to help with this but between 2:02 in the morning and 2:08, that 7 mile stretch, we weren't able to get officers to the scene or that assistance to try and stop this collision from happening."
