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 couldnt slow down in time.
