Motorcyclist killed in west Phoenix I-10 crash; lanes reopened

PHOENIX - The eastbound lanes of Interstate 10 in west Phoenix have reopened after a deadly motorcycle crash, according to the Arizona Dept. of Public Safety.

Officials said a motorcyclist rear-ended a car near 67th Avenue just before 5:30 a.m. Friday morning.

The motorcycle rider, who was not identified, died from their injuries.

Traffic was being diverted at Loop 202 South Mountain during the closure, which lasted through much of the morning rush hour.

On Oct. 27, the freeway was shut down in the same area during the morning commute due to a collision involving two semi trucks.
