The right lanes and on-ramp of eastbound Interstate 10 at Dysart Road were closed due to a “law enforcement situation,” according to a post on X from the Arizona Department of Transportation.
The closure happened around 6:10 p.m. on June 1, ADOT said.
Officers were called to a parking lot near McDowell and Dysart roads around 5:30 p.m. due to reports of shoplifting, Goodyear police told The Arizona Republic in an email. The vehicle failed to yield during a traffic stop but eventually stopped near Dysart Road and I-10, police said.
A man and woman got out of the vehicle and jumped off the bridge, sustaining serious injuries. They were taken to the hospital in critical condition, said police.
Three other people stayed in the vehicle and were detained. The investigation was ongoing, police said.
There was no estimated time for the lanes and ramp to reopen.
Motorists can check az511.gov, the AZ511 app or call 511 to see real-time highway conditions.
