PHOENIX — A 19-year-old man is facing charges after a crash on Loop 202 Wednesday morning.

DPS says at around 5:30 a.m. troopers received a call about a car reportedly traveling "in excess of 125 miles per hour." The vehicle then crashed into three cars before hitting a wall and flipping over near the 52nd Street exit.

The crash forced the closure of Loop 202 westbound at Van Buren Street for several hours.

DPS says the 19-year-old is in the hospital and will be booked for criminal speed, DUI, criminal damage, and endangerment charges.

No other serious injuries were reported.
