MESA, Ariz. (KPHO/Gray News) - An 18-year-old woman has been arrested in connection with a deadly motorcycle crash that happened on a Mesa highway earlier this month.

KPHO reports that investigators believe 18-year-old Rachel Nicole Berg was driving more than 150 mph before the collision that killed 46-year-old Michael Clark.

Arizona authorities said the crash happened just after 10:30 p.m. on March 12 when a 2024 Chevrolet Corvette rear-ended a Harley-Davidson motorcycle in the eastbound lane of U.S. 60 near Dobson Road. … Troopers said Clark hit the concrete wall after the impact and was thrown from his bike.

Berg pulled over and tried to perform CPR, but Clark died at the scene. … She reportedly told troopers that she tried to stop when she spotted the motorcycle but couldn’t slow down in time.
