Multi-Vehicle Accidents in Arizona
Last year, more than half of the total accidents that occurred statewide involved more than two cars and multiple injured victims. Data released by the Arizona Department of Transportation showed that the total car accidents in 2018 numbered more than 55,000 in Arizona, which means that more than 25,000 injuries occurred.
