Four injured people were flown to hospitals Monday morning after a 12-vehicle collision that occurred in Casa Grande when a tractor trailer rear-ended a dump truck, an official said Monday.
Around 7:45 a.m. the Casa Grande Police Department was called to North Pinal Avenue just south of Interstate 10 and found 12 vehicles, including four commercial vehicles, involved in a crash, said a department news release.
The initial investigation revealed that a tractor trailer headed south on Pinal Avenue had rear-ended the dump truck, pushing it into several other vehicles up ahead, the release said.
The dump truck landed on top of a Ford Mustang on the shoulder of the road, trapping a woman inside, the release said.
Those with injuries — none of them life-threatening — were taken to Phoenix hospitals for treatment, the news release said.
Any criminal charges or traffic citations will await the outcome of the investigation.
