(Apache County, Arizona August 29, 2022)–On early Sunday morning, a 17-year-old girl was tragically killed and six others were injured after a semi-truck rear ended a school shuttle carrying 23 people.
According to the State Troopers, Kiarra Alma Gordon, a student at Holbrook Indian School, died in the crash, which occurred near Sanders, AZ on I-40 around 9:30 a.m. The school shuttle was pushed into a van after it was rear ended by the semi-truck, which created a three vehicle pileup.
The school released a statement on Facebook following the incident which said it was “a very sad day for the Holbrook Indian School community” and that their concerns were now for their parents and families as they all work to grieve the events.
The Arizona State Troopers continue to investigate the crash.
