Phoenix, AZ (September 14, 2019) – Deputies from the Phoenix Police Department, as well as paramedics and local fire rescue units, responded to a two-car accident at the Deck Park Tunnel on Saturday.
Officials say the multi-vehicle crash happened on Interstate 10 westbound around 6:01 p.m. The two vehicles involved were traveling in the center lanes of I-10 at the end of the tunnel when they collided. Both vehicles, one red Dodge minivan, and a red Toyota Corolla came to a stop in the middle lane after the collision. According to reports, the driver of the minivan side-swiped the sedan while attempting to merge lanes, though authorities are still working to determine the cause of the wreck at this time.
