Sacaton, AZ – Drivers traveling through central Arizona are facing major delays Thursday morning after a crash forced the closure of Interstate 10 westbound near Sacaton.
According to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), I-10 westbound was fully closed at approximately 8:37 a.m. due to a crash near milepost 184, just west of State Route 187. The closure is impacting traffic between Casa Grande and the Sacaton area in Pinal County, a key corridor connecting the Phoenix metro area with southern Arizona.
ADOT officials have not yet released details on injuries or how many vehicles were involved. Emergency crews remain on scene, and westbound traffic is being stopped as responders work to clear the crash and assess roadway conditions.
Motorists are being urged to avoid the area, expect extended delays, and use alternate routes if possible. Real-time traffic updates, detour information, and reopening timelines are available through AZ511.gov or the AZ511 mobile app.
The westbound closure is particularly disruptive during the morning travel window, affecting commuters, commercial drivers, and travelers heading toward the Phoenix metropolitan area. Eastbound lanes were not reported as closed at the time of the alert.
No estimated reopening time has been announced. ADOT says updates will be provided as conditions change.
