Tragically, the holiday weekend got off to a bad start in the state when one person was killed and two others were injured in an Arizona car accident that has police investigating its cause.

According to authorities, the latest fatal Arizona car accident occurred on Wednesday night at 8 p.m. on Interstate 10 near Watson Road west of Phoenix. The crash involved two vehicles that collided with each other, and one person was thrown from one of the vehicles as a result of the impact. That person was declared dead at the scene. Two other people were rushed to a nearby hospital with injuries and conditions that were not specified.
