PHOENIX — A man died after he was ejected during a water truck rollover at a north Phoenix construction site on Saturday, authorities said.
In the early weekend afternoon, police responded to the incident at a site near Seventh Street and Sonoran Desert Drive, where an 18-year-old man was found with signs of trauma near a damaged water truck.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene by responding firefighters and later identified as Omar Marino Alonso.
Marino Alonso lost control while driving down a hill, prompting a rollover that ejected him from the truck, Phoenix PD Sgt. Phil Krynsky said. Authorities believed speed was a factor.
The investigation into this collision is ongoing.
