On Tuesday morning, a semi-truck caught fire close to Hayden Road in Scottsdale, causing major delays for commuters on Loop 101. Arizona’s family claims that the car fire caused the freeway’s westbound lanes to be closed, which resulted in a backlog until emergency personnel arrived on the site.
Firefighters eventually put out the fire, which was causing thick smoke to rise into the sky. According to the Arizona Department of Public Safety, the driver was unharmed and managed to exit the truck safely. However, while police attempted to swiftly and effectively clear the road, the event compelled all westbound traffic to momentarily stop at Hayden.
The Arizona Department of Transportation declared that Loop 101 westbound would reopen at approximately 1 p.m. after being closed for many hours. Additional investigations are being conducted to investigate the origin of the semi-truck’s abrupt ignition, while the precise cause of the fire remains unknown.
The aftermath of such tragedies continues to raise concerns about car safety and the response measures in place on our congested highways, even though the expressway has subsequently reopened. As FOX 10 Phoenix reported, the Arizona Department of Public Safety said, “The driver got out of the vehicle and was not hurt,” emphasizing the lucky circumstances that led to no injuries. Arizona’s Family recommends returning for more details and updates as the story progresses.
