This news clip isn't too well organized as it is a follow on to an original story. The Phoenix branch of the family alerted me to this:

A Phoenix-area woman died Friday night from severe injuries suffered in the crash.
Dayle Veronica Downs-Totonchi, 47, died at a Phoenix hospital. Two other Arizonans and a Louisiana man were killed at the scene of Thursday's accident.
Her husband, Paul, is the original organizer of the Phoenix M.C Kruzers. Thursday's ride was the first she had taken without her husband. They'd only been married a few years.
One person -- Phoenix Fire Department Capt. Ernie Lizarraga, 52 -- remained hospitalized in critical condition Friday with three others in serious condition, police said. Another man was treated and released.
The two Phoenix-area men killed when the truck hit the eight motorcycles from behind were identified earlier Friday as Clyde R. Nachand, 67, and Daniel L. Butler, 35. Police said the Louisiana resident was Stephen Punch, 52, of Lockport.
The eight motorcycles, carrying nine people, had pulled up behind a pickup and a small SUV at the light Thursday afternoon when the truck driver rammed them from behind, police said. The truck ran over the motorcyclists and continued into the SUV.
Some of the motorcycles burst into flames under the dump truck, while others ended up scattered behind the truck.
The crash site was a collection of mangled chrome Harley-Davidson and other heavyweight bikes and scattered personal belongings, including pairs of riders' boots laying in the roadway.
