CHANDLER, AZ — A multi-semi-truck crash has shut down a portion of eastbound I-10 near Queen Creek Road in Chandler Thursday morning.

The incident occurred around 3:30 a.m.

Arizona Department of Transportation video shows multiple semi-trucks involved in the collision.

Arizona Department of Public Safety officials say there was a vehicle fire in the area shortly before the crash, and residual traffic back-up was slowly clearing from that incident. However, a few semi-trucks were still stopped in the area when another semi-truck crashed into them, causing the multi-truck collision.

Only minor injuries were reported.

The area was shut down for several hours but reopened just before 10 a.m.
