TEMPE, Ariz. — One person was killed following a motorcycle crash Monday on the Loop 202, officials said.
The crash happened in the westbound lanes near milepost 9, just past SR 101. Parts of the roadway were closed off for a DPS investigation.
Around 5:10 in the morning, troopers responded to reports of a disabled vehicle in the HOV lane, according to a report from DPS. While troopers were on their way, a motorcycle struck the disabled vehicle. The rider was then hit by a second vehicle.
Troopers and fire department personnel attempted life-saving measures, but the motorcyclist died at the scene of the crash, officials said. He's been identified as Jaden Early, 27 of Tempe.
Officials don't think that impairment or weather played a part in the crash.
