On 05-25-12 at approximately 1925 hours Pinal County Sheriff’s Office received several 911 calls in reference to a wrongway driver. A silver 2002 Hyundai Sonata operated by 47 year old San Tan Valley resident Mr. Daniel Michael Carrube 05-31-64 was observed traveling east on Ocotillo in the west bound lanes as he approached Ironwood Drive. Several motorists stated “it was if was trying to hit oncoming traffic”. Mr. Carrube reached the intersection of Ironwood & Ocotillo which was displaying a red signal light, however Mr. Carrube entered the intersection endangering the lives of many where he struck a ford F150 on the driver side, occupied by San Tan residents Larry Wycoff, his wife and two children.

Upon striking the Wycoff family Daniel Carrube attempted to flee the scene at a high rate of speed entering the common areas in front of the Walgreens pharmacy plowing down several bushes and signs. Daniel entered onto Gantzel traveling southbound in the Northbound lanes. Daniel jumped the curb into the center median and began driving south where he re entered Gantzel once again traveling south in the Northbound traffic lanes. Mr. Carrube crossed three lanes of travel striking the curb at the entrance to McDonald’s where he continued to drive south down the sidewalk into another common area where he ultimately struck a concrete jersey barrier protecting the high powered electrical lines supplying power to many of the homes in the area.

Several people came to Daniels aid attempting to render life saving efforts, however their efforts were unsuccessful.
