Mesa Car Accident: Car Slams Into Home
As Mesa car accident attorneys, we were shocked to hear that a car plowed into a Mesa home Wednesday, December 14, 2011. The car hit the master bedroom, according to Fox 10, which was just one room away from where the homeowner was sitting. Luckily, she was not injured. The worst part of the incident, however, was when the driver backed up and drove away, making this a hit-and-run car accident. Thankfully, a neighbor recorded the license plate number, and police are now looking for the driver.
Causes of This Mesa Car Accident
As Mesa car accident attorneys, we often see car accidents in which drivers hit stationary objects, such as light poles or houses, because they aren’t paying attention. We also see cases in which they are driving drunk. When people drive distracted or drunk, they risk seriously injuring or even killing other people. At the very least, they cause thousands of dollars worth of damage, as this driver did.
Mesa Car Accident Statistics
There were 2,893 people injured in Mesa car accidents in 2010, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). There were more than 6,100 car accidents in all during 2010. Maricopa County faced $1,449,951,518 in economic losses because of car accidents. In Arizona, the average economic cost involving property damage only was $8,364 per car accident. It is unlikely the house damaged in this Mesa car accident can be fixed for that amount of money; it will likely take two or three times more. Finally, there were 11,311 car accidents involving a collision with a fixed object, such as a home, in Arizona in 2010.
