SAN SIMON, Ariz. — Three people have been killed and two others have been seriously hurt due to a crash on westbound Interstate 10 near the Arizona/New Mexico border, according to the Arizona Department of Public Safety.
DPS told 12News that the crash happened at milepost 391 in San Simon, a town just 11 miles from the Arizona/New Mexico line in southeastern Arizona.
A semi-truck and a car were traveling west when they collided. Three people who were in the car were killed and two others were seriously hurt.
The semi-truck also caught fire when the crash happened and DPS does not know the condition of the driver at this time.
The westbound lanes of I-10 are currently closed in that area.
Traffic coming from New Mexico is taking US Highway 70 to US 191, which reconnects with I-10 in between the towns of Bowie and Raso, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.

This is a developing story and more details will be added as they are made available.
