Semi Overturns Onto I-10 Median in Chandler

Chandler, Arizona—Accident investigators are not certain what caused a semi-truck to overturn and come to rest on top of the concrete median separating the east and westbound lanes of Interstate 10 in Chandler on Wednesday afternoon.

The Arizona Department of Public Safety reports that the driver of the semi had to be extricated from the wreckage.  No additional information presently is available regarding the driver’s name or current medical condition.

The accident may have caused a secondary crash involving six vehicles.  The freeway was constricted for the remainder of the afternoon as officers investigated the circumstances of the accident.

We wish a swift and full recovery for the injured truck driver and anyone else hurt in this accident.
