A motorist remained in critical but stable condition in a Phoenix hospital this week after his car rolled over Sunday night in an accident that involved at least three other vehicles on Interstate 8 near Araby Road.

At least three other motorists were treated for less serious injuries at Yuma Regional Medical Center and released, according to the Arizona Department of Public Safety.

The westbound lanes of I-8 at milepost 8 were closed for nearly three hours while damaged vehicles were towed away and the accident scene was cleaned up, DPS said.

The accident occurred shortly after 10 p.m. when an unidentified motorist traveling west on I-8 lost control of the vehicle and drove into the median.

The driver steered the car back into the westbound lanes but overcorrected, causing the vehicle to overturn, the DPS said.

The driver was injured when he was ejected from the vehicle.

He was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital in Phoenix, according to DPS.

At least three other motorists traveling west on I-8 suffered injuries when their vehicles ran into the overturned car, DPS said.

An investigation is continuing into the accident.
