TEMPE, Ariz. -- Two people were killed when an SUV rolled over on the Loop 101 in the East Valley on Sunday evening, according to the Arizona Department of Public Safety.

Officers at the scene tell 3TV that five people were in an SUV headed south on the Loop 101 at the US 60 when the vehicle had a tire blowout. The driver reportedly lost control and the SUV rolled multiple times.

Four people were ejected. One of them was a 15-year-old girl who died at the hospital. A 60-year-old man who was in the SUV, but not ejected, died at the scene.

The other people who were ejected are at a hospital with injuries that are said to be non-life threatening.

Two other vehicles were involved in a rear-end collision in the backup shortly after the rollover occurred.
