Phoenix, AZ – Injuries Reported in Multi-Vehicle Crash on I-10 at 43rd Ave


Phoenix, AZ (November 23, 2020) – A crash involving at least two vehicles shut down multiple lanes of westbound Interstate 10 near 43rd Avenue in the greater Phoenix area on Monday evening, resulting in injuries.

According to local officers and fire rescue units, the crash happened just after 8:30 p.m. in the center lanes of the interstate. The Arizona Department of Public Safety said that it appears that a sedan collided with at least one other vehicle in a rear-end accident. No life-threatening injuries were reported, though Phoenix fire rescue units, as well as local paramedics, were at the scene to treat the injured victims.

The accident remains under investigation at this time.

Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families in hopes of a full recovery.

Car Accidents in Arizona

11.23 Phoenix, AZ - Injuries Reported in Multi-Vehicle Crash on I-10 at 43rd AveWhen it comes to car accidents on busy highways in Arizona, serious injuries and even fatalities are par for the course. In fact, nearly one thousand motor vehicle crashes ended in death in 2018 alone. And another 37,000 injury accidents on major highways and thoroughfares, resulting in more than 50,000 injuries.

Furthermore, a recent report showed that Arizona has some of the deadliest roads in the country.

A report released in the last month by TRIP, a national transportation research nonprofit, stated that there are 1.09 deaths for every 100 million vehicle miles traveled in Arizona. And during the past four years, 642 people were killed in accidents on interstates in Arizona. Plus, authorities say that at least 43% of those killed were involved in crashes where speeding was a factor. At least 36% of crash fatalities were caused by impairment, and finally, at least 41% of those killed weren’t wearing a safety belt.

After these highway accidents caused by another driver’s negligence, victims may suffer from long-term physical issues, costly medical bills, and even job loss or death as a result of their serious injuries.
