Car Fire and Multi‑Vehicle Crash Close Westbound I‑10 in Avondale

Investigators are on scene to determine how many vehicles were involved and whether anyone was injured.

Overview

  • A car fire was reported on westbound I‑10 near Dysart Road after 5 a.m. Thursday and was followed by a multi‑vehicle crash just after 5:30 a.m. near Fairway Drive.
  • Arizona Department of Public Safety troopers said multiple vehicles were involved and later told reporters one person died and others suffered serious injuries.
  • Traffic cameras and reporters showed emergency vehicles blocking the westbound lanes, drivers being diverted onto the Fairway Drive off‑ramp, and no immediate estimate for full reopening.
  • ADOT and DPS remain at the scene processing the crash, counting vehicles and collecting evidence, and officials have not announced a cause.
  • I‑10 is a primary West Valley commuter route, so the incidents produced heavy morning delays and detours that officials warn may persist while investigators complete their work.
