PEORIA, AZ — Four people have been hospitalized after a head-on crash on State Route 74 near Old Lake Pleasant Road Sunday afternoon.
Officials say one person was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries. The extent of the other injuries is unknown.
Police say the at-fault driver was arrested and is facing charges of aggravated assault. Other charges are pending. It's unclear if DUI was a factor in the crash.
SR 74 was closed for 17 miles due to the crash between milepost 7 (211th Avenue) and milepost 24 (New River Road). The roadway has since reopened.
Department of Public Safety officials say someone from the crash ran from the scene but was "apprehended" by Peoria police.
This incident remains under investigation.
