DUI crash on I-10 in Tolleson results in a woman needing amputations

TOLLESON, Ariz. - The Arizona Department of Transportation temporarily shut down a portion of eastbound I-10 near Avondale Boulevard following a two-car DUI crash Monday night in Tolleson around 9 p.m.

"Preliminary info indicates one vehicle traveled over the guardrail and rolled. Both vehicles are off on the right shoulder," the Arizona Department of Public Safety said on Oct. 10.

A woman was taken to the hospital with serious injuries and had to have her foot and a part of her other leg amputated.

Duse-Timothy Coates was taken into custody by authorities, and they say he's at fault for the crash.

DPS troopers say he admitted to smoking marijuana before the crash and that they found meth in his car.

He's accused of assault, DUI and a probation violation. Court documents show Coates has a history of DUI arrests and convictions, was driving on a suspended license.

His bond is set at $75,000, cash only.
