A 17-year-old driver was arrested on suspicion of murder, driving under the influence and other crimes after two people were killed and three others were injured in a single-vehicle crash Wednesday evening southwest of Tucson.
The crash occurred on a rural road near Arivaca, about 50 miles southwest of Tucson, the Pima County Sheriff's Department said in a news release.
The U.S. Border Patrol tried to pull over the driver, who drove off, then crashed.
The teen was arrested on suspicion of two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of aggravated assault and single counts of criminal damage, unlawful flight from law enforcement and DUI, the department said.
No other information has been released.
