Buckeye, AZ – A serious two‑car crash on Thursday evening forced the closure of 195th Avenue in both directions near its intersection with Osborn Road, according to a statement from the Buckeye Police Department.
The accident, which occurred shortly after sunset, prompted an immediate response from local law enforcement and emergency crews. Police confirmed that the scene is still active, and investigators are working to determine the cause of the collision. At this time, officials have not released details about the number of people injured or the extent of any injuries.
Because the roadway is blocked in both directions, drivers seeking to travel through the area are being advised to use alternate routes until the road can be reopened. The police department has asked motorists to stay clear of the incident site, follow any posted detour signage, and remain patient as first‑responders conduct their investigation.
“Our officers are on the scene and are conducting a thorough investigation,” a spokesperson for the Buckeye Police Department said. “We ask the public to avoid the area and to stay tuned for updates as more information becomes available.”
The closure of 195th Avenue, a key north‑south corridor in the community, is expected to cause temporary disruptions for commuters, school buses, and local businesses that rely on the route for daily traffic. Residents are encouraged to monitor local news outlets and the Buckeye Police Department’s social media channels for real‑time updates on road conditions and any changes to the closure status.
What to Expect Next
Police have not yet released a timeline for when the road will reopen. The investigation will focus on factors such as vehicle speed, road conditions, and any potential driver impairment. Once authorities have completed their assessment, they will issue a formal report outlining the cause of the crash and any recommended safety measures.
In the meantime, the Buckeye Police Department reminds the public of the importance of safe driving practices, especially during evening hours when visibility may be reduced. Drivers are urged to obey speed limits, avoid distractions, and remain vigilant for any unexpected hazards on the road.
Community members who have witnessed the incident or have information that could assist the investigation are asked to contact the Buckeye Police Department’s non‑emergency line at (602) 555‑1234.
