A dust storm in Arizona is being blamed for the deaths of three people and 12 injuries after it caused a 19-car pileup on Interstate 10 between Phoenix and Tuscon Tuesday. Arizona Department of Public Safety officials identified one of those killed as Gordon Lee Smith, 76, of Mead, Washington. They said Smith's wife was injured, but her condition wasn't immediately disclosed. DPS officials said 19 vehicles - 10 commercial vehicles, seven passenger cars, one tanker and one recreational vehicle - were involved in chain-reaction collisions south of Casa Grande shortly after noon.
