Eastbound U.S. 60 was shut down Monday afternoon at Ironwood Drive after a crash involving pipes that had fallen from a trailer.
Arizona Department of Public Safety officials say a heavy-duty pickup hauling a trailer loaded with pipes was traveling westbound on U.S. 60 when it crossed into eastbound traffic.
The trailer reportedly rolled over and spilled the pipes into the roadway. DPS says the trailer swung across the median and hit a passenger vehicle. The driver of that vehicle was the only person inside and was taken to a hospital in critical condition.
It's unclear if the driver of the pickup was injured.
Eastbound traffic was shut down but has since reopened.
An investigation into the crash remains underway.
