PHOENIX -- A woman is facing DUI charges after allegedly causing four separate collisions on two Phoenix freeways Monday.
Those collisions caused a huge series of afternoon delays on State Route 51 and Interstate 10, where the crashes occurred, and also caused backups on Loop 202.
DPS spokesperson Robert Lee Bailey said 29-year-old Kristen Rowley was initially traveling on the southbound SR 51 approaching I-10, when she struck the first vehicle.
Rowley then got onto the eastbound side of I-10 at Washington, where she struck a second vehicle and exited the freeway.
According to Bailey, she then got back on the westbound I-10, where she struck two additional vehicles.
Rowley finally came to a stop after hitting a Nissan pickup, the fourth vehicle, which caused a chain reaction collision between the truck and two other vehicles at 19th Avenue and I-10.
Bailey said six victims' vehicles had to be towed, and two of the drivers were transported to a local hospital for minor injuries.
DPS officials said Rowley was transported to Saint Joseph's Hospital with minor injuries and will be booked on hit and run and DUI charges.
Video from Air15 showed westbound traffic on the I-10 at a near standstill because of the wrecks.
