TEMPE, AZ — A Maricopa County Sheriff's Office deputy was involved in a serious crash in Tempe early Wednesday morning.

The collision happened near Rural and Baseline roads.

Video from the scene shows an overturned semi-truck and a marked MCSO vehicle both wrecked off the roadway at the intersection. Both of the vehicles had crashed through a block wall.

Tempe Police Department investigators say the on-duty MCSO deputy was traveling southbound through the intersection when they were t-boned by a semi-truck traveling eastbound.

ABC15 crews saw a deputy being loaded onto a stretcher and taken to a hospital for treatment, but MCSO says the deputy suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
