GILBERT, AZ — A woman is dead after a crash Sunday morning on the Loop 202 Santan Freeway in Gilbert.
According to the Arizona Department of Public Safety, just after 11 a.m. Sunday, there were two crashes involving three vehicles on the westbound lanes of Loop 202 just past the Higley Road overpass.
A vehicle had reportedly stopped in a lane of traffic due to mechanical issues. Shortly thereafter, a Jetta clipped the stopped vehicle, according to DPS.
DPS says moments later, a pickup struck the Jetta, killing the adult female driver.
That driver has not yet been identified.
The westbound lanes of SR 202 were closed in the area for several hours, but have since reopened.
DPS continues to investigate the crashes.
