Cattle truck overturned on southbound I-17

Right lane closed south of Sunset Point

The right lane of southbound Interstate 17 south of Sunset Point will be closed most of the day as crews work to clear a cattle truck that crashed early this morning. The Arizona Department of Transportation anticipates at least two 30 to 60 minute closures of the highway during the day.

Drivers traveling from Flagstaff to the Valley have the option of two detours:

State Route 260 from Camp Verde to State Route 87 to the Valley;

State Route 69 from Cordes Junction to Prescott, State Route 89 to Wickenburg, and US 60 to the Valley.

ADOT advises drivers to slow down as they approach the crash site and to be alert for equipment and workers.
