PHOENIX — One person is dead after a crash near the Loop 202 South Mountain transition to Interstate 10 in Phoenix early Sunday morning.
Arizona Department of Public Safety officials confirm one vehicle with a single occupant was involved in the crash. That person, who has not yet been named, died from their injuries.
Video from the scene showed the vehicle with extensive damage, and it appeared to be cut in half against the barrier wall.
The crash occurred in the northbound lanes of the 202 at the eastbound I-10 interchange. Traffic was diverted off the ramp for several hours but it has since reopened.
