An early morning crash between a pedestrian and an Uber self-driving car occurred in Tempe, Arizona, according to a report by TV station ABC15

The crash is under investigation. It's not clear whether a driver was behind the wheel at the time. 

On March 15, an Uber self-driving car in Pittsburgh was involved in a collision with another car. No injuries were reported, but both vehicles had serious damage. There was a safety driver in the Uber car at the time of this incident. 

Uber did not immediately respond to a CNET request for comment. 

This is a developing story. 

Update, 10:36 p.m.: Indicated victim was a pedestrian, not a bicyclist as initially reported.
