A fatal collision on Interstate 10 claimed the life of a motorcyclist early Wednesday morning, according to the Arizona Department of Public Safety.
The deadly crash occurred at approximately 4:30 a.m. on May 1 near the 67th Avenue exit on the westbound side of I-10. Preliminary reports indicate that a man in his 30s was operating a motorcycle when he became involved in a collision with a pickup truck under circumstances that are still being investigated.
Emergency responders arrived on scene and pronounced the motorcyclist deceased. His identity has not yet been released pending notification of next of kin. No other injuries were reported in connection with the crash.
As a result of the collision, authorities closed the westbound lanes of the interstate for several hours to allow for a thorough investigation and scene cleanup, leading to significant traffic delays during the morning commute.
Officials have not disclosed whether speed, impairment, or other contributing factors played a role in the incident. The Arizona Department of Public Safety continues to investigate the cause of the crash.
