Tollie Matthews looks like the kind of nog who’ll literally say “sheeeeeeeiiiiiiiiittt…” after being told that he killed someone while under the influence of drugs.

Avondale police have arrested a man after a four-vehicle crash on Thursday left one girl dead and three others injured.

“I can’t believe when [police] came to my door and told me it was her,” said Shannon Meadows, 17-year-old Amanda Moreno’s mother.

Moreno was a senior at Agua Fria High School and just left home to spend time with a friend when the crash occurred near Dysart and Osborn roads.

Meadows and her daughter Whitney Moreno talked with ABC15 at a makeshift memorial near the crash site.

“We come here a few times a day, light the candles for her, talk to her,” Meadows said.

On Friday, Avondale police arrested 54-year-old Tollie Matthews in connection with the crash. According to court paperwork, Matthews admitted to taking two Oxycodone pills before driving erratically and causing a series of collisions.

Moreno was killed after the car she was in was pushed into oncoming traffic, investigators said.

Court paperwork shows Matthews had a prior DUI conviction and was supposed to be driving a vehicle with an ignition interlock device, which the car he was driving did not have.
