The Arizona Department of Transportation’s most recent report shows that more than 35,000 injuries occurred as a result of collisions across the state in 2018 alone. In fact, ADOT’s newest numbers are part of a year-over-year rise in injury wrecks since 2015. From the nearly 55,000 total accidents last year, more than half of those involved multiple injured victims and more than one vehicle.
