PHOENIX — A freeway cutting through a Phoenix suburb was fully reopened early Tuesday morning after a fatal overnight crash.
The right two lanes of the Loop 101 were closed near University Drive about 1 a.m. after a sweeper hit a retaining wall. The driver, 23-year-old Ernest Tre Daurham, was killed in the rollover crash.
About 25 feet of retaining wall was damaged in the crash.
The lanes reopened about 6 a.m.
DPS spokesman Bart Graves said the truck was traveling at high speed when it
lost control and struck the retaining wall.
