Tesla driver cited in collision at popular crash intersection

Maricopa Police and Fire Departments around 8:30 a.m. this morning responded to a two-car collision at Desert Greens Drive and Smith-Enke Road, the site of several recent crashes. 

The cars involved in the crash were a red Tesla Model Y sedan and white GMC Denali SUV.  

According to MPD spokesperson Monica Wiliams, one vehicle, apparently the Tesla, was turning from southbound Desert Greens to eastbound Smith-Enke when it was struck by another vehicle, apparently the SUV.

The front of the GMC Denali was heavily damaged, while the front passenger side of the Tesla was dented in. 

“The driver who turned out into traffic was cited for failure to yield,” Williams said.  

The GMC was being loaded onto a tow truck at 9:10 a.m. as another tow truck was arriving for the Tesla, according to reporters on the scene.  

Williams said there were no injuries and that the scene would be cleared by 9:40 a.m.
