Two vehicles, one of them an SUV, collided around 2:30 a.m. on Loop 202 East at Val Vista Drive. The SUV was upended, eventually landing on its roof, and the driver, a man in his 30s, was seriously injured.

He was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Arizona Department of Public Safety spokesman Kameron Lee said in an email the driver of the sedan, a woman in her 20s, was also taken to a hospital. Her injuries were not life-threatening.

The wreck forced the closure of all lanes to Greenfield Road.

The road reopened around 9:30 a.m.

No other details were immediately available.
