Authorities confirmed that the crash involved multiple parties, although full details about the number of vehicles or severity of injuries have not been released. The incident blocked portions of the roadway between S Maple Ave and W Guadalupe Rd TE, contributing to slowed traffic in the area during peak commuting hours.

Intersection Crashes in Arizona
Tempe intersections like S Maple Ave and W Guadalupe Rd are often the site of injury-causing collisions, especially during morning rush hours when driver attentiveness can be reduced. With school zones, residential traffic, and commuter flows converging in such areas, even a moment’s distraction can result in significant impact.
This morning’s crash demonstrates the challenges of maintaining safety on busy city roads. Whether due to improper turning, red-light running, or failure to observe right-of-way rules, accidents at intersections account for a large percentage of Arizona’s injury collisions. In many cases, victims suffer a wide range of injuries—from minor scrapes to serious trauma—requiring continued care and recovery time.
For injured drivers and passengers, knowing where to turn after a crash is crucial. Medical bills, missed work, and insurance negotiations can place added stress on victims already dealing with pain and uncertainty. Seeking guidance early can help protect both health and legal rights.
