One of Waymo's self-driving development vehicles, presumably a Chrysler Pacifica, was involved in a multiple-car collision on Saturday night. An allegedly impaired driver ran a red light at Country Club Drive and Southern Avenue in Mesa and collided with the Waymo vehicle. The driver then continued and collided with three other vehicles before being arrested after first responders arrived.

The Mesa Fire and Medical Department told AZCentral that the vehicle was not operating in autonomous mode at the time of the collision. Waymo sent Roadshow the department's statement via email.
