Tucson, AZ – Injuries Reported in Multi-Vehicle Crash at La Cholla Blvd & Ruthrauff Rd

Tucson, AZ (December 2, 2020) – Deputies with the Pima County Sheriff’s Office responded to a multi-vehicle collision at the intersection of La Cholla Boulevard and Ruthrauff Road on Tuesday afternoon, December 1.

Per reports from officials on the scene, northbound La Cholla was closed at Ruthrauff Road and traffic was delayed as a result of the crash. Tucson authorities said that at least one victim involved in the collision was treated for injuries or transported to a hospital via ambulance.

The lanes were reopened a few hours after the crash occurred but traffic was congested while investigators collected evidence at the scene. Two vehicles were photographed with damage at the scene, but the events leading up to the accident are still unclear.

The cause of the crash is under investigation, and the victims are not being identified at this time.

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

Multi-Car Accidents in Arizona

Local authorities released a report that showed 130,000 collisions occurred in Arizona last year alone. According to data released by the Arizona Department of Public Safety, more than 11,000 of these collisions involved two drivers or more 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.

Multi-vehicle accidents, particularly those 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.

But the victims and their families affected by these wrecks can seek help from a Phoenix injury attorney. A skilled attorney can help victims seek justice and the fair compensation they deserve from suffering in an accident that occurred through no fault of their own.
