PHOENIX - The eastbound lanes of Interstate 10 in west Phoenix have been reopened after a deadly crash shut down the freeway on Oct. 27, according to the Arizona Dept. of Public Safety.

The car burst into flames, and the female driver inside died from her injuries. Neither of the truck drivers were hurt.

The driver of the semi that allegedly caused the crash is being tested for impairment.

No names were released.
