Rock Band Guitarist Killed When Truck Hits His Car in Arizona
The guitarist for the rock band Slaughter was killed Thursday when his car was struck by a tractor-trailer on Arizona 96 in northwest Arizona.
Timothy Kelly, 34, of Henderson, Nev., died of massive head injuries.
The 18-wheeler crossed the center line near Bagdad, a small community west of Prescott, at 6:30 p.m. Thursday and struck Kelly’s car.
His car struck a third vehicle, went off the road and rolled over, said a state Department of Public Safety spokesman.
Slaughter, which has released five albums since 1990, finished its latest tour last fall. The band has a live album scheduled for release this spring and was planning another tour to start in mid-May.
