A serious-injury collision involving three vehicles shut down a section of northbound Craycroft Road for several hours Saturday afternoon, police said.

At about 4 p.m., the crash occurred on northbound Craycroft at Waverly Street, which is south of Grant Road, said Sgt. Pete Dugan, a Tucson police spokesman.

Dugan said a woman traveling southbound lost control of her vehicle and crashed in to a northbound vehicle. A third vehicle was hit after the initial collision.Β 

The woman was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries. A driver and their passenger from one of the vehicles suffered minor injuries.

The investigation is ongoing.
