The two crashes happened around 5 a.m.

The Arizona Department of Transportation said westbound lanes were shut down at State Route 287.

Eastbound lanes were closed south of Casa Grande at Interstate 8.

About two hours later, all three westbound lanes were reopened, but it was going to take a while for the backup to clear.

Eastbound lanes were reopened around 8 a.m.
