Multi-Vehicle Crashes in Arizona
Nearly 55,000 crashes and more than 35,000 injuries occurred as a result across Arizona in 2018, part of a steady year-over-year increase in severe wrecks since 2016. More than half of those crashes were rear-end collisions with one or more injuries. And data from the Arizona Department of Transporation shows that the summer months are bringing more traffic to state highways, leading to an enhanced risk of these serious incidents for drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians.
