Overview
- A single-vehicle crash just before 5 a.m. Tuesday on northbound Loop 101 at Union Hills Drive killed one person and injured two others, one with serious injuries.
- Arizona Department of Public Safety troopers and emergency crews responded to the scene and traffic cameras showed a badly damaged vehicle wedged by the Union Hills underpass.
- Authorities initially closed the northbound lanes for a crash investigation and later reopened them while reporting the southbound lanes were unaffected.
- Officials have released few details about the vehicle, the occupants' identities, or what caused the crash and the investigation remains active.
- Drivers were warned to expect delays or avoid the area because Loop 101 is a major West Valley artery and ADOT camera feeds were used to monitor the scene and traffic conditions.
