Tucson, AZ (October 8, 2024) – A serious motorcycle accident occurred on Interstate 10 eastbound near Marana on Monday, October 7, leaving a motorcyclist in critical condition. The Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) confirmed that the crash took place near milepost 232, just east of Pinal Air Park Road.
According to reports, a tractor-trailer traveling westbound on I-10 experienced a tire blowout, which caused the vehicle to veer into the median. The impact with the cable barrier resulted in debris, including pieces of the guardrail, being propelled into the eastbound lanes of traffic. The motorcyclist, who was wearing a helmet and protective gear, attempted to avoid the debris but unfortunately lost control and crashed.
Emergency responders arrived on the scene to provide immediate medical assistance. The motorcyclist was transported to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries. As of 4:30 PM on the day of the accident, two eastbound lanes of I-10 were closed to facilitate the response and investigation, although the right lane remained open. Motorists were advised to avoid the area if possible to reduce congestion and allow emergency crews to operate effectively.
