Deadly I-10 Crashes in Phoenix, Santa Rosa Injure, Kill Children

Two serious car crashes on Interstate 10 were reported recently, both involving young children. In Santa Rosa County, Florida, a car carrying four people ran off the road, collided with a tree, and caught fire, seriously injuring a 4-year-old girl and a 1-year-old boy; one child remained in critical condition while others were stable. In Phoenix, Arizona, a two-vehicle collision caused by a pickup truck hitting a sedan resulted in the death of a 6-year-old child and hospitalization of a 4-year-old child, with the truck driver fleeing the scene but later arrested. The Phoenix crash closed part of I-10 for hours and involved a car carrying five people, two of whom were children injured in the crash. Authorities in both incidents have not released further details such as names or charges.
