TUCSON - Three people have been transported to a nearby hospital with serious injuries after a three-car accident on Tucson's south side.

A light post was hit and a car caught fire after the crash occurred this afternoon at the intersection of 12th Avenue and Elvira Road.

Further details at this time are limited.

There was a significant power outage throughout town at about the same time, but Tucson Electric Power confirms this was caused by a bird making contact with their equipment, and not a result of this traffic accident.

Stay tuned to News 4 Tucson for more details as they become available.
