Phoenix — Phoenix police said 32-year-old male, Trenton Buckner, was killed when a supposed drunk driver turned in front of his Polaris ATV on Friday night.

Authorities responded to the incident around 10:00 p.m. near 15th Street and Osborn Road where they learned an eastbound sedan made a left-hand turn in front of oncoming traffic causing a collision.

Buckner was transported to a local hospital and later pronounced deceased, Phoenix police Sgt. Andy Williams said in a press release.

Monique Newton, the driver of the sedan, stayed on the scene while showing signs of impairment.

The 30-year-old female was processed for a DUI and later booked in jail for manslaughter, according to the release.
