episode_narrativeLow pressure creating a tight pressure gradient across southeast Arizona was located near the northwest corner of the state. This resulted in gusty west to southwest winds, which produced blowing dust, several collisions and a subsequent closure of Interstate 10 in Cochise County. Wind damage also occurred in Douglas.
event_narrativeBlowing dust once again originating from an non-maintained parcel of land adjacent to Interstate 10 caused near-zero visibility during the early afternoon hours. This resulted in 3 collisions involving a total of 12 vehicles within a mile of Mile Post 376. The vehicles involved included a San Simon fire truck as well as a DPS SUV. No serious injuries were reported, as the DPS officer was 50 ft away from his vehicle when it was struck by a semi, and the fire chief had also exited his vehicle when impact occurred. The interstate was closed, from Lordsburg, NM to Willcox, AZ from 2 pm through 7 pm in both directions for a total of 60 miles. Traffic was rerouted along State Route 191/70 through Safford, AZ, a detour of approximately 110 miles. Winds were from the southwest with gusts to between 35 and 40 mph at the time of the collisions.
