On October [XXX], 2025 at 7:48 AM MT a Waymo Autonomous Vehicle ("Waymo AV") operating in Phoenix, Arizona was in a collision involving a passenger car on [XXX] at [XXX]. The Waymo AV was stopped facing north in the rightmost lane on [XXX] in a queue of traffic for a red light at the intersection at [XXX]. A passenger car traveling northbound in the rightmost lane on [XXX] slowed to a stop directly behind the Waymo AV.

The Waymo AV, the first passenger car, and the second passenger car sustained damage.
