UPDATE: After 12 hours of investigating, Blue Diamond Road reopened near mile marker 18.
 
Officials say a dump truck was passing through a construction site where crews are expanding Blue Diamond Road. The driver started to experience brake problems and lost control of the vehicle.
 
The truck hit a blue sedan, then crashed into a motor home driven by a German couple in their 70s.
 
The German couple died at the scene. Both the driver of the dump truck and the blue sedan were taken to the hospital as a precaution, though neither were seriously hurt.
