15 prisoners, driver injured when prison bus rolls over on U.S. 60 in Mesa, Arizona

Authorities say 15 prisoners have been injured after a Mesa police transport van rolled over on a freeway. Mesa Fire Department officials say six people suffered serious injuries while the rest were being treated for minor to moderate injuries in the crash about noon Wednesday. They say the driver of the van also was injured in the rollover on U.S. 60 near the Loop 101. The cause of the crash wasn't immediately clear but it shut down the westbound lanes of the freeway at the 101.

Doug's Maytag Home Appliance Center started out as Doug'€™s Appliance Repair in February of 1991. Doug'€™s Maytag is a sponsor of The Ronald McDonald House, Susan G. Komen, John Force Racing and Trees for the Future. Doug'€™s Maytag Home Appliance Center strives to provide exceptional value thru exemplary customer service before, during and after the sale. In, 1996 they ventured out and took advantage of an opportunity to join the Maytag Company. At this point the business name changed to Doug'€™s Maytag Home Appliance Center.

This story has been corrected to show that five inmates and the driver suffered serious injuries, not six inmates, and that authorities say the crash was not a rollover crash. Another Mesa police employee was in the van, which authorities say was broadsided by a dump truck that swerved to avoid hitting another vehicle. Authorities say that person wasn't hurt. Television footage showed the van stopped along a freeway barrier on U.S. 60 near the Loop 101 and some of the prisoners being taken away on stretchers. The 10 other prisoners were treated at the scene for minor to moderate injuries.
