| episode_narrative | Thunderstorms developed over the south central deserts of Arizona during the afternoon on October 4th, and they produced strong gusty outflow winds. Due to the very dry conditions across the deserts, the winds were able to generated dense blowing dust which led to dust storm conditions. The near zero visibilities caused a series of significant traffic accidents along the Interstate 10 corridor from Tucson to Casa Grande. The most significant accident, which involved 16 vehicles and produced 2 fatalites, occurred near Picacho Peak. Another major accident occurred near the community of Casa Grande. |
| event_narrative | Thunderstorms developed over the south central deserts during the early afternoon hours on October 4th. The storms produced gusty outflow winds; due to very dry conditions the winds generated dust storm conditions in the Casa Grande area. According to the Department of Highways, a major accident occurred near 240 pm, which involved eight vehicles. The accident was located at milepost 190, about 4 miles north of Casa Grande on Interstate 10. No fatalities were reported, but there were two serious, yet non life-threatening injuries. East bound lanes of Interstate 10 were closed for an hour due to the accident. Additionally, there were two other crashes later in the day which likely were the result of dust. A crash involving two tractor-trailers and a small car on Interstate 10 near the Gila River Indian Community south of Phoenix seriously injured two people. Another crash occurred on Interstate 10 near Tonopah, but it did not involve serious injuries. |
