Three killed in northwest Arizona motor home fire

KINGMAN, Ariz. - Three Lake Havasu City residents were killed in a fiery motor home accident about eight miles north of the northwestern Arizona city Monday.

The Department of Public Safety said the 2006 motor home towing a Jeep blew a right front tire about 12:05 p.m. on Arizona Route 95.

"The fire started on the right front wheel, which is directly adjacent to the main doorway that you come in and out," Desert Hills Fire Chief Matt Espinoza said. "In that case the primary entrance and exit was blocked by fire which basically forced the occupants to the rear of the RV."

Espinoza said the bodies of the occupants were all located in the rear of the motor home.

The victims were identified as John P. Thomas and Susan L. Thomas, both 63, and Joyce Lowry, 73.
