PHOENIX, AZ : A wrong-way crash involved in two vehicles and killed three peoples on April, Friday 14th 2017

Northbound Interstate 17 is closed following a wrong-way crash that authorities say involved two vehicles and killed three people.
The state Department of Public Safety says those killed included the driver of the vehicle traveling southbound in northbound lanes of I-17 in northwest Phoenix early Friday morning.

Grand Canyon University says two of the three young people killed in a wrong-way wreck on Phoenix freeway early Friday morning were students at the private Christian school and that they were in separate vehicles.

Grand Canyon Public Relations Executive Director Bob Romantic says one of the students killed in the crash was the man driving the wrong-way vehicle on Interstate 17 and the other student killed was one of the young woman in the second vehicle involved in the wreck.

Romantic said the university wasn’t releasing any information about the students out of concern for the privacy of their families.

The Arizona Department of Transportation says the closure of northbound I-17 at Greenway Road is expected to continue through the morning commute.

ADOT says northbound traffic is being routed onto the frontage road at Greenway and that drivers can get back onto I-17 at Bell Road.

Southbound I-17 is unaffected.
