At 12:14 p.m. Friday, there was a six-vehicle four-time fatal collision on Interstate 10 westbound at milepost 232.

Minutes before this collision, DPS had put out an ATL (attempt to locate) for a reckless driver eastbound on I-10. It appears this vehicle crossed the median and struck an SUV head-on. A semi-truck then struck the initial wreck which began a chain reaction collision.

Among the six vehicles involved was a Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office transport van. On board were two deputies and a prisoner. None were seriously injured. All three were transported to UMC in Tucson.

There are four confirmed fatalities.
