Looks like this was caused by high winds and blowing dust.

Clusterfuck.

This is third or fourth large crash this year on I10 between T-Town and Phoenix due to dust storms. Nuts.

Dust storms were never like this when I was a kid and there weren't that many.

I just got home from being on the 202 and the car was all over the road with the wind gusts.

I couldn't believe it, but people were actually driving under the speed limit....:1orglaugh

Dust storms. Did we not have them when I lived in Phoenix from 2000 to 2006? I never saw the one the entire time I was there.

Looks like NALEM took that photo. Or is that a dust storm.

.

when i drove shipments i would hit tucson like 3 times a week. its always a wreck thats the main way to head south. if you get caught in that you could be there for a long time.

that stretch is a breeding ground for dust storms and AZ can get some crazy weather...when i lived out there we had a "monsoon" that ended up being classified a hurricane (yes a hurricane in a land locked desert...i doubted it too but at the time all the news stations were talking about how this was a hurricane in the desert...something about horizontal rain and the way it was blowing), and that storm spurred a tornado about 2 miles from where i was living...i sat in the garage and watch air conditioners and roofs get torn off like they were nothing....crazy i tell ya
