PHOENIX - A motorcyclist has died after being struck by a car traveling 140 mph by a suspected impaired driver on Interstate 10 in Phoenix, authorities said Sunday.
Arizona Department of Public Safety officials said the driver of the car was taken into custody. The names of the car driver and motorcyclist weren't immediately released.
DPS troopers said the car was observed going 140 mph — about twice the posted speed limit — on I-10 around 1:30 a.m. Sunday.
After crashing into the motorcycle rider, DPS officials said the car’s driver kept going for another mile before the vehicle caught on fire.
They said the motorcyclist was rushed to a hospital, where he later died.
Arizona Department of Transportation officials said the section of freeway where the crash occurred was closed for eight hours while authorities conducted their investigation.
