1 killed, several injured in recent car accident

It is no secret that intersections remain a hotspot for dangerous collisions. Even with traffic lights and signs to help control the flow of traffic in these areas, there may still be some level of risk involved, especially if drivers fail to adhere to them. One person died and up to seven others suffered injuries during a recent car accident that is said to have taken place under similar circumstances in Arizona.

Crash at intersection

Law enforcement agents advised that they responded to reports of the crash at around 4:30 a.m. on a recent Monday morning. An investigation of the incident suggests that it took place when for reasons unknown the driver of a westbound van suddenly ran through a red light. The van proceeded to collide with a nearby pickup truck soon thereafter.

Reports indicate that there were up to seven people in the truck at the time of the crash, each of whom was taken to a hospital for medical care. One of these individuals is reportedly being treated for life-threatening injuries. Authorities also advised that the driver who caused the crash suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. No further information was provided as to what might have caused this person to run through the red light, as the investigation into the incident remains ongoing.

When disaster strikes

Individuals who suffer serious or life-altering injuries in a car accident may face various hardships in life, physical, emotional and financial alike. If another individual is deemed at fault in the incident, the victim or victims could benefit from consulting with an experienced attorney for guidance on the next steps to take to seek accountability through the appropriate channels.

An attorney in Arizona can evaluate the incident, along with a client’s injuries and needs, and assist in preparing to seek the restitution entitled through a personal injury claim.
