how very sad - I hope first responders can help in any way...

Sounds like what we have sadly begun to call "wrong way driving" and we have had so very many of these accidents and incidents in Arizona over the last few years. This sounds like one vehicle crossed a concrete divider that separates the directions of travel. Here, we have folks just driving onto the freeway going the wrong way. Wrong Way Drivers It has happened so often, it is now a thing, not just an isolated incident.

Regardless, sorry to ramble... I hope the fatalities here are few.
