PHOENIX — A section of Loop 101 was closed in both directions in the West Valley near Camelback Road after a five-vehicle crash involving hazardous materials Thursday morning.
The Arizona Department of Public Safety says one of the vehicles involved was a tanker truck loaded with propane. Video from the scene showed the tanker rolled over on top of another vehicle.
Hazardous materials crews from DPS, as well as the Arizona Department of Transportation and the Phoenix Fire Department, were called to assist with the cleanup.
One patient was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
DPS says there is no active hazard to the public, but Loop 101 was closed in both directions for several hours as they worked to mitigate the hazardous materials and clear the vehicles.
The freeway has since reopened in both directions.
