3 people killed in 3-vehicle crash on US 93 in Arizona

Both directions of U.S. 93 were closed for more than three hours about 15 miles northwest of Wickenburg.

3 killed in crash that closed US 93 north of Wickenburg

All lanes have reopened, but there is about a 7-mile backup in both directions.
This catastrophic accident began on Friday afternoon, when a southbound pickup truck on U.S. 93 for some reason veered into the northbound lanes, and subsequently into the path of an oncoming semi-truck. The driver of the semi-truck managed to avoid a head-on collision with the pickup, but was still struck in the trailer. The pickup then continued to collide head-on with a passenger vehicle that was behind the semi, killing the driver of the pickup as well as two people who were in the other vehicle. A passenger in the pickup truck was hospitalized with injuries, and the semi-truck driver was uninjured. This crash remains under investigation; we will add more information as it becomes available.

Hi Shirley, I just did another search and there have been no updates at all on this story. It is puzzling that a huge accident with such tragic results has not been followed up on in the media. I'll keep an eye on it - surely more information will be released soon. Thank you, Ingrid Taylor, Managing Editor, Accident Data Center
