HOLBROOK, AZ (3TV/CBS 5) — Investigators say one person is dead after a head-on crash involving a UPS truck and semi-truck near Holbrook on Sunday afternoon. The crash happened on the eastbound lanes of Interstate 40 about 12 miles west of Holbrook around 4 p.m.

Arizona Department of Public Safety troopers say a UPS truck was driving on the west lanes when the driver crossed over and hit a semi-truck head-on. The driver was ejected and taken to the hospital with critical injuries. DPS later confirmed the person died. It’s unknown what caused the driver to go into the other lane.
