The accident occurred on West Rollercoaster Road just after 10:00 am in a residential area when a mid-sized SUV collided with the broadside of the small pickup truck. The driver of the SUV suffered serious injuries and was taken to the hospital in stable condition. The passenger in the pickup truck suffered life-threatening injuries, and was extracted from the crushed vehicle with the Jaws of Life before being taken to the hospital in critical condition. The driver of the pickup truck died at the scene. We express our condolences to the families of all the victims.

As car crash lawyers in Phoenix, we were sorry to hear that one person died and two others were injured after a crash on February 9 that occurred on McDowell and 38th Avenue, according to Fox 10. The driver of a black 4-door Nissan suddenly swerved into oncoming lanes, but police aren’t sure why. When this happened, the Nissan hit an SUV as well as a utility truck. The truck rolled over and the SUV then hit a car coming out of a driveway. The passenger in the front seat of the Nissan was killed and the driver and back passenger were seriously injured. Thankfully, no one else was hurt. Our thoughts are prayers are with those who were injured as they begin their road to recovery, and our deepest condolences go out to the family of the passenger who was killed.

Causes of This Phoenix Multi-Vehicle Crash

This crash could have happened for many reasons. It was likely caused by distracted driving, as there was no apparent reason for the Nissan to dart into oncoming traffic. However, it could also be because of faulty repairs completed by a mechanic. If this is the case, the driver could have lost control of the vehicle, which caused it to veer into the other lanes. Finally, the crash could have been alcohol-related. After thorough investigation, police should have more answers.

Motor vehicle crashes happen on a daily basis. That is a sad fact in the world, as well as a public health concern. The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention has mentioned that motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among those ages 5 – 34 in the U.S. And every day, people are brought into emergency departments due to injuries from motor vehicle crashes.

Just last weekend, in Peoria, a multi-vehicle crash resulted in the death of 3 and the injury of 1 (ABC15 06/11/2011). Authorities say that a truck with 2 passengers ran a red light at the intersection of 107th and Northern Avenues, and collided with a pick-up truck with 1 passenger. Both vehicles caught on fire and all three died on the scene. A third vehicle was struck, but the 50-year-old man inside only had minor injuries. Police say that impairment may have been a factor in the crash, however, this may never be known because the bodies were burned from the crash.

Drugs other than alcohol (e.g., marijuana and cocaine) are involved in about 18% of motor vehicle driver deaths. These other drugs are often used in combination with alcohol. Therefore, when driving in Arizona, alcohol and drugs should not be taken. When going to a party with alcohol, assign a sober driver beforehand. And if already drunk, then don’t drive at all. Just take a taxi or get a ride with someone sober. This way, accidents will be avoided.
