Several motorcycles involved in crash in Arizona

PHOENIX — Several motorcycles have been involved in a crash with a garbage truck on the northern edge of Phoenix that has left at least three people dead and several others seriously injured.

Phoenix Fire Department Deputy Chief Frank Salomon says six patients are in critical condition and two were airlifted to a hospital. Salomon says one of the injured is a Phoenix firefighter. His condition is not known.

Jarrod Cook, a worker at the nearby Ketzal Mexican Grill, says several motorcycles are wedged underneath the truck.

The accident occurred Thursday afternoon in the area of 27th Avenue and the Carefree Highway, which was expected to be closed for several hours.
