MESA, AZ — A crash involving multiple vehicles prompted a temporary partial closure on U.S. 60.

At about 11 a.m. Tuesday, Arizona Department of Public Safety troopers were called to the freeway near Alma School Road for a crash.

Officials say a tractor-trailer and a pickup truck collided with a semi-truck. The crash caused the semi to partially roll over.

Some construction equipment that was being carried by the semi-trailer fell onto the freeway causing some damage.

DPS says the driver managed to get out of the semi-truck and has minor injuries. The driver of the other vehicle also suffered minor injuries.

The left lanes of U.S. 60 near Extension in Mesa have reopened. An investigation remains ongoing.
