(AP) - Police investigating a traffic accident found three tons of marijuana in one of the vehicles involved. The drugs had an estimated street value of $10 million, Tucson police said. Police said a truck hauling a white cargo trailer ran a red light and hit another truck Friday on Tucson's east side. The truck's driver jumped out and took off in another car - probably a designated getaway vehicle, said police spokeswoman Officer Kathy Wendling. Police investigating the accident discovered 63 large boxes containing marijuana inside the trailer. Wendling said that if the driver had not fled, police might not have searched the trailer because it isn't part of a routine traffic collision investigation. - --- MAP posted-by: Keith Brilhart
