Deadly dump truck crash shuts down Loop 202 in Tempe, 1 in custody

FOX 10's Danielle Miller has the latest on a deadly crash involving a dump truck on Loop 202 near McClintock Drive.

TEMPE, Ariz. - Loop 202 in Tempe has reopened after a deadly crash involving a dump truck, according to the Arizona Dept. of Public Safety.

Authorities say the dump truck was carrying asphalt in a construction zone at around 3 a.m. Thursday morning for a freeway pavement project.

A construction worker drove the truck from the construction site to the open travel lanes near McClintock Drive, cutting off an SUV heading eastbound.

The SUV rear-ended the truck, and the driver died from his injuries. The victim is said to be a 34-year-old man from Texas.
