DPS investigates fatal rollover crash involving dump truck on Interstate 10 in Tempe
TEMPE, Ariz. - The Department of Public Safety is investigating a rollover crash that involved five vehicles near Interstate 10 and University Drive on July 16.
According to DPS, "A passenger vehicle was traveling east in the far right lane, went left into another lane and struck a large dump truck in the front right side. The impact caused the dump truck to lose control, swerve across all lanes, strike the concrete wall and roll onto its right side. The cab of the truck came loose and came to rest on its roof in the eastbound lanes."
When the dump truck struck the wall, it also hit a third vehicle's front and windshield. Two other vehicles were struck by flying concrete debris.
As a result of the crash, lanes were blocked in both directions of I-10 at Salt River Bridge, slowing traffic.
