WICKENBURG, Ariz. — The Arizona Department of Public Safety says at least one person died in a multivehicle crash that closed the main highway route between Phoenix and Las Vegas Friday morning.

The crash about 5:30 a.m. closed both directions of U.S. Highway 93 north of Wickenburg, which is 53 miles northwest of Phoenix, the DPS said.

The Arizona Department of Transportation announced that all lanes had reopened shortly after 9 a.m.
