PHOENIX — Three people are hurt after a crash involving a wrong-way driver on the Loop 101 in Phoenix Saturday morning.
Arizona Department of Public Safety officials say they got the first calls about a wrong-way driver heading westbound in the eastbound lanes of the Loop 101 near 56th Street just after 2:15 a.m.
When troopers arrived, they found two vehicles had been involved in a crash in the area.
DPS says the wrong-way driver, a woman, was taken to the hospital with severe but non-life-threatening injuries.
In the other vehicle, a man and a woman were both taken to the hospital after the crash. The man's injuries are considered serious but not life-threatening. The woman's injuries are also not life-threatening.
The roadway was shut down for a few hours overnight as DPS investigated the crash.
At this point, DPS officials say intoxication has not been ruled out as a factor in the crash, but it is still under investigation.
