Phoenix, AZ (August 21, 2019) – A multi-vehicle wreck blocked the right two lanes on Loop 202 before 24th Street on Wednesday afternoon, August 21st.
Local authorities say the accident occurred when three sedans collided in the right lanes of L-202 westbound, also known as the Red Mountain Freeway, before 24th Street around 6:00 p.m. Fire rescue and police units assisted injured victims and worked to determine the cause of the wreck, though they have not released the drivers’ information at this time.
All lanes reopened by 7:00 p.m.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
Multi-Vehicle Wrecks in Arizona
Last year’s statewide crash numbers show that more than half of the 55,000 total car accidents that occurred in 2018 involved two or more vehicles. And the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) notes that nearly 35,000 injuries resulted from those crashes.
Victims and their families may experience a number of tragic, unforeseen consequences after a wreck, from long-term medical expenses and serious injuries to even job loss or death. But those affected can contact a Phoenix crash lawyer for help, and in some cases, seek justice from a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit.
