Maricopa Police Department is investigating a crash that killed someone this afternoon.
Just after 3:30 p.m. today, MPD was dispatched to a two-vehicle crash on Maricopa-Casa Grande Highway at Anderson Road.
Officers determined a van collided with a semi truck, causing significant injuries to the driver of the van. The driver, an adult man, was quickly transported to the hospital but has since died from his injuries.
