Buckeye, AZ (August 12, 2020) – A head-on collision between two vehicles occurred near Beloat Road and Jackrabbit Trail in Buckeye early Wednesday morning and left one driver dead.

Per reports from officers with the Buckeye Police Department, the accident occurred just after 4:00 a.m. at the intersection of Beloat and Jackrabbit.

Officials reported that one woman was transported to an area hospital via ambulance with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

The other victim involved in the crash, a man of unknown age, died at the scene.

The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office was also at the scene to investigate the crash and closed the area from Beloat Road to MC85 in order to collect evidence.
