   A man was arrested Thursday in connection to a six-vehicle crash earlier   
   this year that left five people dead in Arizona after investigators said   
   he was watching TikTok while driving his semi when the crash happened.   
      
   Officers arrested Danny Tiner, 36, Thursday after a lengthy investigation   
   found him responsible, according to an Arizona Department of Public Safety   
   statement. Tiner drove a tractor-trailer that caused the crash early   
   morning Jan. 12, on a highway between Phoenix and Chandler. Two of the six   
   cars involved were commercial vehicles, the statement said.   
      
   Tiner was booked into jail on a $300,000 bond and faces multiple charges   
   including five counts of manslaughter, four counts of endangerment and one   
   count of tampering with physical evidence.

   An investigation into how the incident began found that Tiner had been   
   driving at 68 mph in a posted 55 mph construction zone while "actively   
   using the TikTok application on his cell phone at the time of the   
   collision."   
      
   In the statement, DPS said that Tiner said he received a message on his   
   electronic work tablet and went to look at it. When he looked back up,   
   traffic had come to a halt, but he was unable to stop in time to avoid a   
   collision.   
      
   Before Tiner's arrest on Thursday, DPS troopers and detectives conducted a   
   "knock and talk operation" at his home in relation to the fatal collision,   
   according to court documents.   
      
   The January wreck produced a fiery blaze that closed down Interstate 10   
   south of Phoenix for hours.   
      
   DPS spokesman Bart Graves said the collision left people trapped inside   
   their cars amid the fire.   
      
   "The crash with the five fatalities, we believe a semi driver that was   
   distracted did not slow for slowing traffic that was part of the second   
   crash and slammed into two vehicles in front of them. Another semi was   
   involved in that crash, it was a chain reaction. In all, there were six   
   vehicles involved." Graves said at the time. "One of the vehicles was   
   crunched in between the two semis, which caught fire. Another semi also   
   ignited."   
      
   Graves said the fire's intensity was "so great," it took firefighters   
   nearly four hours just to gain control of the fire.   
      
   Rescue efforts to recover the bodies couldn't start until nearly four   
   hours after the crash occurred.
