Arizona Department of Public Safety troopers arrested Deone Xavier Holland, 37, on Sept. 3 on a grand jury warrant, nearly two years after investigators say he caused a deadly chain-reaction crash on westbound Loop 202 Red Mountain near the Scottsdale Road off-ramp and fled the scene without calling for help.
According to Arizona's Family, the crash occurred just before 3 a.m. on Nov. 3, 2024. DPS says Holland's Dodge Journey was traveling 96 mph when it rear-ended a Honda Pilot, forcing the Honda to block freeway lanes. About 30 seconds later, an Audi Q7 struck the disabled Honda; five minutes after that, a Ford Focus hit the Audi.
Rachel Marie Moss, 55, of Chandler was killed. Two other people were seriously injured.
DPS Vehicle Crimes Unit detectives spent nearly two years reviewing surveillance video, physical evidence, vehicle data, and witness statements before identifying Holland as the driver of the Dodge Journey. Holland faces charges of leaving the scene of a fatal collision and endangerment.
The KOLD News 13 report from November 2024 corroborated the original crash details at the time of the incident.
Holland's next court date has not been publicly announced.
