Arizona authorities identify 4 killed in Mohave County crash

Arizona authorities have released the names of the victims killed in a two-vehicle crash Wednesday in Mohave Valley south of Bullhead City in Mohave County.

The Department of Public Safety said a Mercury was southbound on state Route 95 between Courtwright and Laguna roads about 12:15 p.m. The car strayed onto the dirt shoulder. The driver overcorrected and drove into the northbound lane where they collided head-on with a Chrysler.
