Chandler, Arizona—Judy Kurtz, age 56, died as a result of injuries she received Saturday at the hands of a hit-and-run driver suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol..
Kinton Robert Bruce, age 27, was driving eastbound on Ray Road when he ran two red lights as he entered the intersection at an estimated speed of 75 mph. He collided with a car that was northbound on Price driven by Ms. Kurtz.
