Gilbert, AZ (January 5, 2025) – A tragic accident on the Loop 202 Santan near Gilbert Rd late Friday night claimed the life of one individual and left others injured, according to authorities. The crash occurred around 10:30 PM in the westbound lanes of the freeway, causing significant disruption to traffic and requiring an extensive investigation.

The incident began when a vehicle lost control and collided with a barrier wall. The vehicle came to rest in the middle of the freeway, blocking several lanes of traffic. The three occupants of the vehicle exited and stood outside when a second vehicle struck the disabled car and subsequently hit two of the individuals on the roadway.

One man tragically lost his life at the scene due to the impact. The second vehicle, involved in the collision, caught fire following the crash. The driver of the second vehicle remained at the scene and was reportedly uninjured. The conditions of the other two victims have not been disclosed by investigators.

Westbound lanes of the Loop 202 were closed for several hours as Department of Public Safety (DPS) troopers conducted their investigation. The roadway reopened just before 7:00 AM Saturday morning.

Our thoughts go out to the victims and their families during this difficult time. We hope for the recovery of those injured and offer condolences to the family of the deceased.
