PHOENIX — A crash on Interstate 10 backed up traffic in the West Valley for miles during rush hour Tuesday morning.

Eastbound I-10 traffic was bumper-to-bumper for over 8 miles at the peak of the delay, with the backup extending from Litchfield Road in Goodyear to Verrado Way in Buckeye.

The freeway was closed briefly near Litchfield Road while the scene was being cleared, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.

Several lanes remained blocked temporarily after the closure was lifted around 8 a.m.

The flow of traffic returned to normal before 9:30 a.m.

No other details were immediately available.
