GLENDALE, AZ — Glendale officials say a crash that led to a hazardous situation occurred when a driver intentionally crashed into a tanker truck Wednesday morning.
Glendale police say two passenger cars and a tanker truck were involved in the crash near 57th Avenue and Camelback Road.
Police say the tanker, which was transporting oxygen, was compromised and crews had to work to contain and offload the chemicals.
Video from the scene showed what appeared to be the aftermath of a vehicle fire due to the crash and crews spraying the vehicles with a large amount of water.
No injuries were reported and Glendale fire officials say there is no active threat to anyone nearby.
Police said later Wednesday morning that the driver who struck the tanker was taken into custody. It's not yet known why the driver crashed into the truck.
It's unclear whether the suspect driver was otherwise armed. Officers used a Taser on the suspect when he allegedly ran towards them in a threatening manner.
Drivers should avoid the area due to closures.
