 Alert | | Hubby called a few minutes ago and said there is a BAD wreck just before M mountain. He saw a car upside down and a jeep. He said they were trying to pull people out of the car and that they were doing CPR on another person, possibly from the Jeep. Hope everyone pulls through... | | | |

Alert | | Better route would be take Mar/CG Hwy to Val Vista - about 12 miles from 347. Turn left on Val Vista heading north. Take Val Vista to the traffic light - about 8 miles. Turn left at the traffic light. You are now on Pinal Avenue in Casa Grande. I-10 is about 3-4 miles from there. | |

Alert | Take another route. I was going to Phoenix...took me 30 minutes to get from Smith-Enke to Ranch El Dorado Drive only to be turned around. Cops are NOT letting anyone through. So...go towards Casa Grande take Val Vista Road - that links to Pinal Ave - turn left and drive northbound til you get to the I-10 ramp.

Alert | I just got a call form my hairdresser. She lives in AC (as do I) and she works in Ahwatukee. I was going to get a haircut later this morning, and she asked me to reschedule, since I'll never make it on time.
She said from AC to RED it took her about 30 minutes, only to have to turn into RED. She finally drove to CG to hop on the I-10 into Ahwatukee. | |

Alert | My co-worker informed me that it is definitely a white jeep wrangler, older model TJ-7.
He ran into someone at the gas station saying a police radio and a badge was found in the jeep. | | | |

It actually happened earlier than that...My hubby called about 7:20 to say that 2 Maricopa city police cars just flew past him with lights and sirens on and then 2 minutes later he came upon the scene. No other emergency vehicles were there yet. | | | |

Alert | | My husband left early this morning and I just now heard from him. That is a horrible feeling. I pray for all those involved. This is another reminder how quick lives are changed in just an instant. I could never imagine a knock on my door with bad news as this. My heart goes out to this family. | | | |
