Main Street and Mesa Drive intersection closes after fatal collision
A fatal collision closed an intersection in west Mesa on Wednesday afternoon.
Det. Steve Berry with the Mesa Police Department said four vehicles were involved in the crash at Main Street and Mesa Drive, and one person died at the scene.
“The car we believe to cause the accident had two people in it," Berry said. "One (the driver) is deceased at the scene, and the other was transported to the hospital where they are being treated.”
One of the four vehicles was occupied by Mesa police detectives.
"We have a crew of investigators on scene to determine exactly how and why this accident happened," Berry said. "Obviously, there are a lot of unanswered questions."
The light rail station closest to the crash scene was expected to be closed until the intersection reopens, according to Valley Metro.
