Phoenix, AZ – Officers Investigating Injury Wreck on I-10 at 51st Ave
Phoenix, AZ (June 29, 2020) – Officers from the Phoenix Police Department responded to a serious multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 10 on Monday evening.
According to information from the scene, at least three vehicles collided in the left westbound lanes of I-10 at the 51st Avenue off-ramp around 10:50 p.m. Rescue units from the Phoenix Fire Department were at the scene to assist victims and closed the area at 51st to clear the crash debris.
Paramedics arrived on the scene shortly after the wreck occurred and appeared to transport at least one victim to a local area hospital, but no word has been given on the severity of that victim’s injuries or any other victims’ injuries.
Officials are still working to determine the cause of the crash and have not released further details.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families. We hope for their full recovery.
Multi-Vehicle Wrecks in Arizona
Recent data released by the Arizona Department of Transportation show that nearly 130,000 crashes occurred throughout the state last year. Of those wrecks, almost 11,000 involved at least two vehicles. Interstate 10 claims one of the highest rates of serious multi-vehicle accidents. These multi-car crashes mean more stress for victims and can result in serious injuries, affecting the parties involved on a long-term basis.
In fact, multi-vehicle accidents can cause emotional distress, long-term physical problems, issues with insurance companies, and even lost wages for victims. However, victims and their families can seek help from a personal injury lawyer and learn more about safeguarding their legal rights after a crash.
