Overview
- A wrong‑way driver traveling east in westbound lanes on Interstate 10 near milepost 103 struck another vehicle just before 7 p.m. on Saturday, according to the Arizona Department of Public Safety.
- The wrong‑way driver died at the scene and all four occupants of the other vehicle were taken to hospital, with two reported in serious condition.
- Westbound I‑10 near 339th Avenue/Palo Verde was closed after the crash; local reporting said the freeway stayed closed through the evening and at least one outlet later reported lanes reopened early Sunday morning.
- Authorities have not released the identities of those involved and have not determined why the driver was traveling the wrong way, and DPS says the crash remains an active investigation.
- Families of the injured will depend on hospital updates and the investigation could affect traffic and safety reviews for that stretch of I‑10, so officials urge drivers to avoid the area and expect delays as investigators work.
