Two people were killed and an infant injured, when a semi-truck overturned on SR-86 near Sasabe, authorities said.

Authorities have identified the two adults killed in a Wednesday night rollover crash near Sasabe.

Gerald Calip, 50, and Carolyn Conner, 47, were both from Hayward, California. They were traveling with an infant boy who was injured in the crash, said Quentin Mehr, an Arizona Department of Public Safety spokesman.

At about 7:40 p.m., DPS troopers responded to reports of a commercial vehicle that had crashed on State Route 286.

The semi-truck was hauling a load of coal, and driving northbound when it approached a curve, and Calip, who was driving, lost control of the vehicle, Mehr said.

The truck and trailer rolled onto the passenger side and went off the road. Calip and Conner were not wearing seatbelts, and were ejected from the truck. The infant, who was not restrained in a child seat, was also thrown from the vehicle, Mehr said.

Calip and Conner were pronounced deceased at the scene, but the infant was airlifted to Banner University Medical Center to be treated for his injuries. His current status is unknown.
