Units arrived to find one vehicle fully engulfed and multiple patients ejected, according to a release from SFMD.

A total of four patients were involved. Three were pronounced deceased at the scene, and one patient was transported in critical condition to a trauma center, where they later succumbed to their injuries.

The Arizona Department of Public Safety is investigating the crash. Eastbound US 60 was closed for an extended period.
