Multi-vehicle crash closes Interstate 10 east of Phoenix
Drivers headed to Phoenix from the south on Interstate 10 should expect delays because of a crash that closed the freeway on Monday.
The westbound lanes of the interstate were closed for several miles because of a crash near Riggs Road west of Chandler, the Arizona Department of Transportation reported Monday afternoon.
The interstate was closed at Casa Blanca Road/State Route 587, at Pinal Avenue/State Routes 187 and 387 and at Riggs Road.
The crash involved four vehicles, including a Gila River Police Department patrol vehicle, according to the Arizona Department of Public Safety. An officer was taken to a hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening, and two other people in another vehicle were seriously injured, according to the Department of Public Safety.
The agency had no estimated time to open the lanes and recommended drivers expect delays or find another route.
