The incident occurred around 1:54 a.m. and involved vehicles that reportedly ended up in the median, likely due to wet road conditions from rain, according to Phoenix Metro Area Fire.
Battalion 7, Engine 43, and Battalion 282 were among the units dispatched to the scene. While officials have not released the number of injured individuals or the extent of their injuries, multiple responders were needed to manage the crash, indicating a potentially complex situation.
The combination of early morning darkness and slick road surfaces likely contributed to the collision. Traffic in the area may have been affected as emergency teams worked to assess injuries and clear the vehicles from the median.
We send our best wishes for a full and safe recovery to all those involved in this crash.
Wet Weather Crash Risks on I-10 in Phoenix
Rain-slicked roads in Phoenix—particularly on high-speed corridors like I-10—can significantly increase the risk of loss-of-control accidents, especially during early morning hours. Drivers unaccustomed to wet conditions may hydroplane, misjudge stopping distances, or veer into medians, leading to crashes like the one reported near Centan.
Median collisions are particularly dangerous due to potential rollovers or secondary impacts from oncoming traffic. Injuries may include head trauma, spinal injuries, and fractures, depending on the force and angle of the crash.
Emergency response in such cases is critical, not just for medical treatment but also for ensuring traffic safety and preventing additional collisions in low-visibility or high-risk conditions.
