HomeBlogPeoria, AZ – Two Hospitalized After Head-On Collision on Northern Ave

Peoria, AZ (May 27, 2022) – Two people sustained injuries during a head-on accident on Tuesday, May 24th in Peoria.

According to sources, the two-car crash took place on Northern Avenue between 103rd Avenue and 99th Avenue when, for reasons still under investigation, two vehicles collided head-first with one another. Upon their arrival, emergency responders transported one of the drivers to an area hospital in a life-threatening condition. The other driver was transferred to a hospital in serious condition. 

The impacted section of Northern Avenue was closed down as police and rescuers crews worked at the scene. The circumstances surrounding the incident are currently unknown. 

The names of the injured victims have not been released and police have not been forthcoming with any additional details.

This accident is under police investigation.

Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families at this time. We hope for their full recovery.

Causes of Head-On Collisions in Arizona

A publication issued by the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration states that head-on collisions account for nearly 10% of all vehicle accidents in metropolitan areas and close to 15% in more rural locations. Head-on accidents occur more frequently in rural settings because the roadways tend to be more narrow and poorly lit. 

The leading sources of head-on collisions in Arizona include:

  • Drivers who are under the influence
  • Drivers who disregard the speed limit
  • Drivers who are not paying attention
  • Drivers who are overly tired
  • Driver error
  • Vehicle defects/Faulty car parts
  • Improper vehicle maintenance

In Arizona, someone who is injured in a car accident for which they are not at fault is entitled to pursue economic recovery for their losses from the liable driver. Being awarded full compensation, however, will require you to provide compelling evidence of their negligence. 

An experienced car accident lawyer in Arizona will know the most efficient way to build a strong claim for full recovery if you or a family member is injured.
