SUPERIOR, Ariz. -- A woman has died after being struck by a truck while trying to cross a state highway in Superior on foot.
The Pinal County Sheriff's Office said 47-year-old Elaine J. Romero, 47, was struck Monday night by a truck that was pulling a carnival trailer on Highway 60.

Witnesses told investigators that Romero was intoxicated.
The sheriff's office said the truck's driver, Matthew Hydock, 29, of Eloy, is believed to have been under the influence of marijuana and pain medication at the time.
