Injury Crashes in Arizona
According to information from the Arizona Department of Transportation, nearly 55,000 accidents and more than 1,000 deaths occurred in 2018 alone, part of a year-over-year rise in severe crashes. And there’s more traffic on Arizona roads now that summer is here, leading to a greater danger of these hazardous wrecks.
