PEORIA, Arizona (KPHO/Gray News ) – An Arizona woman and her young son are dead in a rollover crash over the weekend.

According to the Arizona Department of Public Safety, the mother and son died in a single-vehicle crash Saturday night along State Route 74 at milepost 14 near the Quintero Golf Club.

Authorities identified the woman driving as 45-year-old Elizabeth Paola Standefer and her 8-year-old son, both of the Phoenix area.

A DPS spokesman said Paola’s Chevrolet Tahoe was eastbound on SR 74 around 6:15 p.m. when, for unknown reasons, the SUV left the roadway to the right.

The vehicle then rolled and the child was ejected.

Standefer and her son were both pronounced dead at the scene.
