Seven-person Truck Accident in Mesa Injures Two Children
The Move-Over law in Arizona requires drivers to slow down and change lanes away from authorities assisting others on the side of the road. Driving past vehicles on the side of the road can be dangerous for the driver and those pulled over. As Arizona car accident attorneys, we advocate that drivers always move over for authorities for their own protection.
An early Saturday morning family drive ended in injury for two children (AZ Central 9/18/10). The cause of the accident is not yet known. Luckily the children will be okay. The family was driving in Mesa when they were hit by a truck. Then, the police officer on the scene was rear-ended by another car. None of the drivers or adult passengers were injured in any of the other cars.
Changing lanes to move away from authorities stopped on the road not only protects you but also those who are stopped. Frequently there are people opening the doors to go into and come out of the stopped cars, and walking around the scene. Moving over helps prevent pedestrian injuries. Also, if the cars passing by are at fast speeds, it only takes a small miscalculation, as shown in this recent accident, to hit a parked car.
