UPDATE: 5 dead in fiery crash at Riggs Road, multiple crashes on I-10 lead to hours-long delays
Then, at 6:15 a.m., DPS were notified about another crash on I-10, this one happening just before Riggs Road. Graves said it was a multi-vehicle crash with people trapped inside their cars and a major fire."The crash with the five fatalities, we believe a semi-driver that was distracted, did not slow for slowing traffic that was part of the second crash and slammed into two vehicles in front of them. Another semi was involved in that crash, it was a chain reaction.
Graves said the fire's intensity was"so great", it took the fire department nearly four hours just to gain control of the fire. "There were hazardous chemicals involved, I believe magnesium, that prevented them from getting in closer." Graves said."It's going to be closed for quite a while. We hope to reopen it by 5 p.m. but that's a conservative estimate." Graves said.Interstate 10 eastbound was closed at Wild Horse Pass Boulevard due to a semi-truck fire crash early Thursday morning at around 2 a.m.,There were no injuries in the crash. Traffic was taken off at Wild Horse Pass Boulevard.
The eastbound lanes of I-10 reopened several hours later around 9:30 a.m. at Wild Horse Pass Boulevard, ADOT said in a tweet.A crash in Tempe was blocking the two left lanes of I-10 westbound after Elliot Road, but the lanes reopened around 7:40 a.m.
