CHANDLER, AZ : Driver fatigue suspect in big rig crash on Chandler freeway on Wednesday, December 7th, 2016
Authorities say driver fatigue is suspected in a fiery semi-truck accident that snarled traffic on Interstate 10 in Chandler.
Smoke and flames were seen pouring from a semi-truck, which appeared to be jackknifed on the freeway Wednesday afternoon.
Authorities say there were no injuries.
But the crash caused a huge backup as it brought traffic in the westbound lanes to a standstill.
By 2 p.m., three lanes of the freeway had reopened. All lanes reopened shortly before 4:30 p.m.
Arizona Department of Public Safety officials say a commercial truck tractor was pulling a semi-trailer along I-10 when the driver lost control.
