There were road closed signs everywhere and yet the road was open at 9:00am this morning.. The signs also said something about an accident - but there were no signs. I hope it was not to serious - i'm just curious what happened?

A bicyclist riding with two friends in Queen Creek was struck and killed early Saturday in a hit-and-run incident. The incident occurred near East Ocotillo Road and South 228th Street at about 2 a.m. The victim and two friends were eastbound on Ocotillo Road when he was struck by vehicle going westbound in the eastbound lane. The driver fled the scene, but the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office Traffic Unit later arrested Gary Foshe, 53, and booked him into the Fourth Avenue Jail for one count of manslaughter and two counts of endangerment. There were no details on the circumstances of the arrest. Deputies are still investigating the incident and alcohol may have been a factor, said Aaron Douglas, a spokesman for the Sheriff's Office. The Sheriff's Office is withholding the name of the victim until the family is notified. |
