PEORIA, AZ — A deadly rollover crash involving a semi-truck blocked a portion of Loop 303 on Monday morning.

The incident occurred in the southbound lanes of L-303 near Lake Pleasant Parkway around 5:30 a.m.

Video from the scene showed a semi-truck trailer on its side, blocking all southbound lanes of traffic in the area.

Arizona Department of Public Safety officials say the crash was deadly, and two people were in the truck at the time of the rollover.

Crews cleared the overturned semi-truck and reopened the road just after 11 a.m. DPS said they were being cautious when pulling the truck upright for tow to prevent cargo from spilling and creating additional cleanup needs.

Officials have not disclosed what the commercial vehicle was hauling.

The cause of the crash is under investigation.
