BUCKEYE, AZ — Three people are dead, possibly including children, after a crash on Interstate 10 just west of SR-85 in Buckeye.
The Arizona Department of Public Safety has confirmed the eastbound lanes of the freeway were blocked because of the crash between Palo Verde Parkway and SR-85.
Buckeye fire officials say they responded to a single-vehicle rollover crash just after 9:30 p.m. Thursday.
A man was pronounced dead at the scene. He has not yet been identified.
Four others, including a woman, a teenage boy, and two young children, were reportedly in critical condition when they were taken to the hospital.
DPS has since confirmed that two of the other victims have also since died, but officials did not disclose their ages.
Shortly after this collision, semi-trucks were involved in a separate deadly crash in the area. The crashes are not believed to be connected, but both remain under investigation.
