A Saturday morning collision involving three vehicles on Loop 101 near Southern Avenue in Tempe, Arizona, left one person injured, authorities said. The crash, which was reported by ABC15, occurred in the bustling area and prompted a response from the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS).
The pileup, which effectively blocked the four right lanes at one point, caused a significant traffic snarl just before the Broadway/Apache roads off-ramp, the AZFamily reported. Although the specifics surrounding the cause of the accident are still not clear, DPS officials confirmed the number of vehicles involved and the fact that, despite the quick assembly of four ambulances at the scene, only a single person was transported to the hospital for injuries whose severity remains undisclosed.
The roadway was cleared and all lanes were reopened by 11:46 a.m., ensuring the flow of traffic resumed on the busy highway.
The condition of the injured individual is still under evaluation, and the investigation into what triggered the collision continues. DPS has not yet released details on the potential cause for the incident.
