Phoenix, AZ – Injuries Reported in Rear-End Crash on L-101 at 7th Ave
Phoenix, AZ (July 29, 2020) – A crash left at least one person injured on Wednesday afternoon in Phoenix.
Troopers with the Arizona Department of Public Safety shut down the westbound lanes of Loop 101, also known as the Pima Freeway, shortly before 7:30 p.m. Officers from the Phoenix Police Department stated that the accident occurred just before 7th Avenue. The lanes were reopened a little over an hour later, though it’s unclear how the crash occurred at this time. The accident appeared to involve two sedans in a possible rear-end collision.
Phoenix EMTs were also dispatched to the scene of the wreck to treat victims and may have transported at least one victim to an area hospital. However, the Phoenix Police Department is still investigating and has not released the victims’ information or their current conditions.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families. We hope for their full recovery.
Serious Rear-End Crashes in Arizona
Per a report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Arizona is one of the top five most dangerous states in the country for drivers. Fatalities and injuries from accidents are especially prevalent during the warmer months between May and September.
Victims of these injurious crashes go through physical and emotional trauma, often having to document their injuries, negotiate with insurance companies, and even deal with job loss. But individuals who are affected can seek help from a Phoenix personal injury lawyer, especially if they’ve been involved in an accident that’s caused by the negligent actions of another driver.
After an Arizona car accident, your phone may start ringing, and when you pick it up, it is a friendly insurance adjuster wanting to speak with you. They sound friendly and they make you think that they care about your interests. They actually may sound reassuring. However, be aware that if an insurance representative asks you to give them a statement, you may not have to do so, and it may actually not be in your best interest. In fact, at ELG, when we represent a client and an adverse insurance company asks us to allow for a recorded statement from our client, 99% of the time the answer is a definitive no!
