Scottsdale, Arizona—Three members of a family living on the Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Reservation were killed when a black SUV driven by John McDonagh, age 46, slammed into their vehicle on Saturday night at about 9:30 p.m. The family members are identified as Leonard Leon, his wife Beldon Patrick and their six-year-old daughter, Bella Leon.
The accident occurred at Dobson and Chapparal roads. Police report that Mr. McDonagh was driving 60 miles per hour in a 35 miles per hour zone.
