Westbound I-10 Lanes Near 91st Avenue Reopen After Sunday Crash
A crash on westbound Interstate 10 near 91st Avenue blocked the right lanes for more than three hours Sunday afternoon, causing delays before reopening around 3:50 p.m.
Westbound traffic on Interstate 10 near 91st Avenue in Phoenix was disrupted for more than three hours Sunday after a crash blocked the freeway's right lanes, according to state transportation officials.
The collision was reported around 12:27 p.m., and the resulting lane closures caused backups as first responders worked to clear the scene. The Arizona Department of Transportation alerted drivers to the delays while crews remained on the freeway.
The affected lanes reopened at approximately 3:50 p.m., restoring full westbound capacity on the stretch of I-10 that carries commuters and freight traffic through the southwest Valley.
No information on injuries or the number of vehicles involved was immediately available. The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
Sunday's disruption is the latest in a series of incidents and construction projects that have tested drivers on Valley freeways this fall. Transportation officials have repeatedly urged motorists to check real-time conditions before heading out and to slow down and move over when emergency crews are working along the roadway.
