The crash happened at 8.18pm on southbound US 93 in Wickenburg, which is about 60 miles northwest of Phoenix, Arizona Department of Public Safety spokesman Raul Garcia told KSLTV.
A Toyota Tundra pickup truck was attempting to pass vehicles going southbound where it was legal to do so but ‘failed to complete the pass and collided head-on with a white Volvo commercial truck tractor pulling a trailer loaded with home goods’, Garcia said.
The female in the passenger’s seat of the pickup truck died from the crash. The male driver was hospitalized with burns and in critical condition.

The driver of the commercial truck was taken to a hospital as a precaution. The road was closed for more than six hours after following the crash.
Chloe was the CEO of the Clover Skin Bar skincare boutique in Lindon, Utah, according to her Instagram page.
