Two men were transported to a hospital with serious injuries after a crash near Davis-Monthan Air Force Base Tuesday afternoon, officials said.

The intersection of East Valencia and South Wilmot roads is closed due to the crash, the Pima County Sheriffโ€™s Department said.

Traffic is being rerouted west and east of Valencia, said James Allerton, sheriffโ€™s department spokesman. Deputies suggest drivers avoid the area as traffic continues to be backed up, Allerton said.
