It was a horrific end to a festive day around the University of Arizona.

A late night crash at Speedway and Campbell involved a dozen cars and left two men dead and one in jail.

The crash is still fresh in people’s minds. One of the men who died, Craig Gmur, was not from Tucson. Perhaps he and the other victims were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Phillip Musgrove, the Tucson man believed to have caused the crashes, hit ten cars one by one, injured six people and left two dead.

“Horrific. That’d be the word I’d use,” Alex Perone, a witness, admits. Of all the car crashes he says he has witnessed, this one by far, “Has been the worst. This has been the worst I’ve seen in my life, actually,” Perone adds.

Every time he sees the Speedway and Campbell intersection he remembers. Perone explains, “A lot of people got rushed off to the hospital.”

Police arrested Musgrove, whom they believe was responsible for the accident. They say he drove his Nissan Maxima westbound on Speedway, hit eight cars stopped for the red light at Campbell, an SUV and a four-door Toyota then came to a stop.

“Sometimes you’re not thinking about when you’re driving how much attention you have to pay, how defensive you have to be when you’re driving,” Perone reveals.

Police have not yet said why the crashes happened, but Musgrove faces charges of murder, aggravated assault, endangerment and criminal damage.

From now on Perone says he will be extra cautious when he drives through Speedway and Campbell. “I’m always paying attention,” he admits.

The man in the car with Gmur, Thomas Flynn, was also killed. Authorities say he is from Trabuco Canyon, California.
