Phoenix, AZ – Three Hospitalized After Two-Car Crash on Central Ave & Dobbins Rd
Phoenix, AZ (November 12, 2020) – Three people, including a young child, have been hospitalized after a serious injury crash occurred in south Phoenix on Thursday.
Per reports from the Phoenix Police Department and Phoenix fire rescue, crews responded to reports of a two-vehicle crash on Central Avenue and Dobbins Road around 8:15 a.m. on Thursday morning. When crews arrived at the scene of the accident, they discovered that a passenger van crashed into a semi-truck. News video from the scene showed the van with significant damage and a large debris field surrounding the crash area.
A child of unknown age, a 19-year-old woman, and a 40-year-old man were all rushed to the hospital via ambulance in serious condition.
The area was closed to traffic for several hours while police investigated. The accident remains under investigation at this time, and officers haven’t released further details about the cause of the accident.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families. We hope for their speedy recovery.
Injury Car Accidents in Arizona
A recent Arizona crash report released by the Department of Transportation showed almost 35,000 accident injuries statewide in 2018. Of that year’s nearly 55,000 total accidents, more than half involved several injured victims. Oftentimes, victims may even succumb to those injuries, causing a devastating situation that leaves grieving families to pick up the pieces.
In fact, there were 1,010 fatalities on the state’s roads last year, according to the annual crash facts report released Tuesday by the Arizona Department of Transportation.
Those involved in multi-vehicle accidents 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. Those affected can contact a Phoenix crash lawyer for help, and in some cases, seek justice from a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit.
