Phoenix Multiple Car Accident Seriously Injures 6-Year-Old Boy
As Phoenix car accident attorneys, we were saddened to hear that a young child was seriously injured in a four-car pileup on Loop 101 near 15th Avenue, according to a news report from AZ Central. The car accident occurred on November 11, 2011 at 5:55 p.m. and caused several more collisions, as well as a pickup truck to roll onto its side. Four other people were transported to a local area hospital in addition to the 6-year-old boy. Our thoughts are with the injured victims and we wish them a speedy recovery.
Causes of This Phoenix Car Accident
Police are not finished investigating this car accident, and it is still unknown what caused it. In most car accidents that involve multiple vehicles, at least one driver was traveling too fast for the conditions and was unable to avoid colliding with others. In other cases, debris in the roadway causes one car to swerve into another, and so on. Whatever the cause, it takes an experienced Phoenix car accident attorney to investigate the accident scene to determine who was at fault.
Phoenix Car Accident Statistics
There were 22,713 car accidents in the city in 2009. Injuries suffered in those accidents numbered 12, 318, which was a decline of 8.9 percent from the year before. The study, reported in AZ Central, showed that April was the month with the most car accidents and September had the most fatalities.
