ADS crash report in Tempe, AZ involving a JAGUAR I-PACE (NHTSA SGO 30270-13817)

On January [XXX], 2026 at 3:53 AM MT a Waymo Autonomous Vehicle ("Waymo AV") operating in Tempe, Arizona was in a collision involving a passenger car on [XXX] at [XXX]. The Waymo AV was stopped facing west in the rightmost lane of [XXX] in a queue of traffic for a red light at the intersection with [XXX]. A passenger car, traveling eastbound in the leftmost westbound travel lane at a high rate of speed, entered the intersection against a red light, and made contact with the front left of a second passenger car traveling northbound on [XXX] through a green light. As a result of this contact, the airbags in both passenger cars deployed. The initial eastbound passenger car continued to exit the intersection after contact, proceeded towards the rightmost westbound lane on [XXX], and the front left of the passenger car made contact with the left side of the stationary Waymo AV, resulting in airbag deployment in the Waymo AV. After making contact with the Waymo AV, the passenger car continued eastbound and the left side of the passenger car then made contact with an additional Waymo AV (VIN [XXX]) that was stopped behind the initial Waymo AV in traffic. At the time of the impact, both Waymo AVs' Level 4 ADS were engaged in autonomous mode. The two passenger cars and the initial Waymo AV (VIN [XXX]) sustained damage. An occupant of the northbound passenger car was transported from the scene for medical treatment with unknown injuries. Waymo is reporting this crash under Request No. 1 of Standing General Order 2021-01 because an individual involved was transported from the scene to a hospital for medical treatment. Waymo may supplement or correct its reporting with additional information as it may become available.
