Chandler, AZ (December 1, 2020) – One driver is in serious condition after a two-vehicle crash occurred in Chandler near McQueen Road and Commonwealth Place on Tuesday morning.
According to reports from the Chandler Police Department, one vehicle rear-ended another car, causing both of the drivers to lose control. The cars then hit parked vehicles, and one of the drivers crashed into an apartment building.
Authorities from Chandler fire rescue say that both cars sustained heavy damage, and one of the drivers involved was transported to the hospital via ambulance with serious injuries. The other driver was treated on the scene and is recovering at home.
Traffic in the area was restricted, and CPD officers said the investigation is ongoing. It is unknown if impairment was a factor in the crash, and no charges or citations have been filed.
The names of the drivers involved have not been released.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
Multi-Vehicle Accidents in Arizona
Statewide crash numbers from last year show that two or more vehicles were involved in more than half of the 55,000 total car accidents that occurred. The Arizona Transportation Department notes that those crashes resulted in nearly 35,000 injuries. Because of the nature of these multi-vehicle wrecks, victims and families could be paying a steep price.
Despite an overall decline in the number of crashes and injuries on Arizona roads last year, traffic deaths were at their highest level in more than a decade.
In fact, there were 1,010 fatalities on the state’s roads last year, according to the annual crash facts report released Tuesday by the Arizona Department of Transportation.
Those involved in multi-vehicle accidents may experience a number of tragic, unforeseen consequences after a wreck, from long-term medical expenses and serious injuries to even job loss or death. But those affected can contact a Phoenix crash lawyer for help, and in some cases, seek justice from a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit.
