According to statements by the Arizona Department of Public Safety spokesperson, Bart Graves, the tragedy occurred on Thursday on the eastbound off-ramp at Desert Foothills Parkway, involving two motorcyclists who were riding at a high rate of speed, both riders lost control while navigating the ramp's curve and were thrown from their bikes, resulting in one fatality at the scene and the other being rushed to hospital with considerable injuries.
