TOLLESON, AZ — Three people were left injured Sunday morning after a wrong-way crash on Interstate 10 in the West Valley.

The Arizona Department of Public Safety says the crash happened in the eastbound lanes of the freeway near 91st Avenue in Tolleson.

Three vehicles were involved in the crash, and witnesses told DPS one of the three vehicles was driving the wrong way.

Three people were taken to a hospital for non-life-threatening injuries, according to DPS.
