A five-vehicle chain-reaction crash temporarily closed southbound State Route 143 near University Drive at the Phoenix-Tempe border in Arizona, according to the Arizona Department of Public Safety. The crash was reported on October 27, 2026.
The number of people injured was unclear. Troopers believed the injuries were not life-threatening.
Crews cleared debris from the southbound lanes and towed away the vehicles during the closure. All southbound lanes reopened around 7:30 a.m. Northbound traffic was unaffected.
Troopers were investigating whether speed or driver inattention contributed to the collision. Those remained possible factors, not established causes.
People involved in a crash near the Phoenix-Tempe border can preserve photographs, insurance correspondence and any medical records related to the collision. An official crash report may help document the incident for an insurance claim. A qualified Arizona attorney can explain legal questions based on the available evidence and individual circumstances.
