PHOENIX — A group of eight motorcycles were mowed down from behind by a dump truck Thursday afternoon, killing three riders and injuring six others, at least one critically, authorities said.
An off-duty Phoenix Fire Department captain was in very critical condition, said Phoenix police spokesman Detective James Holmes.
The motorcyclists were stopped behind a pickup and a small SUV at a red light when the truck driver rammed them from behind, he said. The truck ran over the motorcyclists and continued into the small SUV in front of them, Holmes said.
