Phoenix, AZ (January 22, 2021) – Two people have died after a serious car crash occurred in north Phoenix on Friday afternoon.
Per reports from the Phoenix Police Department, one driver’s Tesla slammed into a tree near Bell Road and 56th Street. The crash occurred around 1:00 p.m., and first responders were dispatched to the scene a short time later. Officers say the impact caused significant damage to the car, and a man and a woman were pulled from the wreckage.
Local EMTs say that both victims died at the scene. Police did not say if any other victims sustained injuries in the accident.
It’s unclear what led up to the crash, but 56th Street was closed while police investigated. The investigation continues at this time.

Fatal Car Crashes in Arizona
Arizona authorities released a report that showed 130,000 collisions happened across the state in the last year alone. According to data released by the Department of Public Safety, more than 11,000 of these serious accidents in Arizona involved at least two drivers and several injuries or deaths. Furthermore, there has been a 19% increase in accidents and a 25% overall increase in fatalities across the state in the last decade. Serious motor vehicle crashes have also resulted in billions of dollars in economic losses to the state of Arizona over the past several years.
It’s clear that multi-car accidents causing injuries are an unfortunately common part of life in Arizona. When multiple victims are injured in an accident, they may have to deal with other drivers’ insurance companies, long-term physical pain, and expensive hospital bills. Occasionally, as a result of these incidents, victims succumb to their injuries, leaving their grieving families to cope with emotional trauma and financial difficulties as a result of another driver’s negligence.
