Westbound Interstate 10 reopens in West Valley after fatal collision caused closure

PHOENIX — The westbound lanes of Interstate 10 reopened in Goodyear after a fatal three-vehicle collision caused a shutdown early Friday, authorities said.

The collision took place at Dysart Road shortly before 12:30 a.m., the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) said.

The eastbound lanes were temporarily closed, too, but reopened hours before the westbound closure was lifted.

The crash occurred when a vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed collided with a semi-truck and a third vehicle, DPS said.

Two of the vehicles caught on fire, DPS said. One driver was killed and the other two were injured.

UPDATE: I-10 eastbound has partially reopened. The right lanes are open. The HOV and left lanes remain blocked.
