Tanker Truck Crash on Loop 202 Kills Four, Injures Others

 
Phoenix, AZ (June 10, 2021) – On Wednesday, four died and nine were injured in Loop 202 fiery crash.
 
The fatal crash took place minutes after 10 p.m. eastbound lanes at 52nd Street.
 
The authorities said a big rig pulling a tanker of milk came up on some traffic congestion but did not to slow down and plowed into several vehicles.
 
As a result, the tanker broke away from the big rig and went over the concrete barrier.
 
“A total of eight vehicles, including that commercial vehicle, are involved in this collision. That tanker became separated from the truck tractor, crossed over the concrete barrier median wall into the westbound traffic lanes. That tanker came to rest on its side, and the rest of the vehicles are all here on the eastbound side,” DPS spokesperson Raul Garcia said.
 
Officers said the tanker burst into flames. Also, they mentioned that the burning tanker was leaking both milk and diesel fuel. Additionally, one of the other vehicles caught fire, as well.
 
Unfortunately, four people died at the scene.

Nine People Hospitalized in Crash

 
Emergency rescuers took nine people to nearby hospitals, wherein six of those patients incurred critical injuries. They range from 22 to 45 years old.
 
Meanwhile, the other three victims, including a 6-year-old girl, incurred non-life-threatening injuries.
 
Paramedics checked a 10th person at the scene, but did not want to go to the hospital.
 
Multiple ambulances and fire trucks from Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, and Mesa responded to the accident scene.
 
Moreover, authorities said they have ruled out impairment as a factor in the crash. Also, they are working to piece together the moments leading up to the fatal accident. The NTSB said they will send nine investigators to the accident scene.
 
“Traffic was congested. This vehicle [the semi-truck] was traveling at a high rate of speed – not necessarily over the posted speed limit. That’s not what we’re saying,” Garcia explained.
 
Federal officials said a preliminary report will be completed in 30 to 90 days, with a full report available in 12 to 24 months.
