The incident occurred on Thursday morning during rush hour, as drivers were making their way to work or school. According to authorities, over 50 vehicles were involved, resulting in injuries to multiple people. Witnesses described a chaotic and terrifying scene. Cars were mangled beyond recognition, and debris littered the roadway. First responders rushed to the scene, where they worked tirelessly to extract victims from wreckage and provide medical assistance. The cause of the crash is still under investigation, but preliminary reports suggest that it may have been triggered by a combination of factors, including heavy rain and poor visibility. The impact of the collision caused vehicles to fly off the road and into nearby ditches. Among those affected by the pileup was a group of high school students who were on their way to a field trip. Their vehicle was severely damaged, and several students suffered injuries. Parents and school officials rushed to the scene to provide support. Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego expressed her condolences to the victims and their families. “This is a tragic event that has shaken our community,” she said. “We will do everything in our power to support those who have been affected.” The crash has caused significant disruption to traffic in the area, with I-17 closed in both directions for several hours. Authorities are urging drivers to use alternate routes and avoid the affected area. The Phoenix Police Department is conducting a full investigation into the incident, and charges are expected to be filed against any drivers who were found to be at fault.
