Phoenix, AZ – Injuries Reported in Two Wrecks on I-10 at 51st Ave
Phoenix, AZ (June 30, 2020) – Multiple cars were involved in two separate crashes on Interstate 10 at 51st Avenue early Monday morning.
According to the Arizona Department of Public Safety, the two accidents happened in the same area around 2:30 a.m. and involved at least five vehicles. News video from the Arizona Department of Transportation’s freeway camera showed that one of the cars collided with another vehicle then rolled over several times. DPS said that at least three vehicles rolled during both crashes, but it’s unclear how the accidents were caused.
Phoenix EMTs were also at the scene and transported at least one person to the hospital. The wrecks remain under investigation at this time.
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.
