The Arizona Department of Public Safety investigated two fatal crashes that occurred just 5 miles apart on Interstate 40 late Monday and early Sunday.

Agency spokesman Bart Graves said a wrong-way driver was killed in the first crash late Sunday. Graves said the driver was eastbound in the westbound lanes, 11 miles from the California border, at 11:30 p.m. The vehicle crashed into a semitrailer that was loaded with wooden cabinets. The interstate reopened at 3:22 a.m. Monday.

The second crash was reported at 4:47 a.m. Monday, about 16 miles east of the California line. Graves said one person was killed and four others were injured when one westbound semitrailer rear-ended another. The westbound lanes were closed for five hours. One lane reopened at 9:50 a.m.
