Mesa, AZ – Distracted Driving Factored into Deadly Auto Accident Near Alma School Road

Mesa, AZ (July 8, 2019) – An auto accident on Monday morning, July 8th, has left one man dead.

According to police, the incident occurred at around 7:00 a.m. near Alma School Road and Queen Creek Road.

Officials say that 50-year-old Michael Robles was driving a Dodge pick-up truck when he lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a wall. Robles was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Police say they do not believe Robles was wearing a seat belt and may have been distracted by his phone at the time of the auto accident. The southbound lanes of Alma School Road, north of Queen Creek Road, were closed but have since been reopened.
