Anthony Burgi, a 36-year-old lawyer from Gilbert, was eastbound on Riggs Road near Recker Road about 5:20 a.m., when he went off the road and slammed into the back of an 18-wheeler dump truck bed, said Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office spokesman deputy Doug Matteson.
Burgi was ejected and suffered serious head and internal injuries. He was pronounced dead at the scene, authorities said.
Matteson said he didn’t know how fast the Viper was traveling, but said it struck the dump truck bed with such force that the dump truck bed was pushed 15 feet.
