Phoenix, AZ – Rear-End Crash Causes Injuries on I-10 Near US 60
Phoenix, AZ (May 31, 2020) – Officers from the Phoenix Police Department said that injuries were reported in a multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 10 early Sunday morning.
According to officers, the accident occurred around 3:30 a.m. At least three sedans collided in the eastbound lanes of I-10, also known as the Papago Freeway, near the US 60 ramp. All sustained severe damage, and it appears that the accident may have been a chain-reaction collision initially caused by a rear-end accident.
Phoenix paramedics were at the scene and appeared to transport at least one victim to a local area hospital; however, police are still investigating the crash at this time and haven’t provided an update on the victims’ current conditions.
Our thoughts are with those injured in the accident. We hope for their full recovery.
