Phoenix, AZ (June 1, 2022) – One man has lost his life as a result of a motor vehicle accident reported in the Phoenix area on Tuesday evening. At around 415 p.m., on May 31, the Phoenix Police Department and the Phoenix Fire Department responded to the scene of a motor vehicle accident on 35th Avenue.

Reports provided by authorities indicate that a Phoenix fire Department engine was traveling southbound on 35th Avenue during the early evening hours. For unknown reasons, a vehicle traveling through the roadway became involved in an accident near Indian school Road after attempting to pass the fire engine. The vehicle then went off the road and crashed into a tree.

The driver of the sedan, 57-year-old William Dodd, sustained severe injuries in the accident. He was rushed to a local hospital where he later passed away from his injuries.

At this time, the incident remains under investigation.

We would like to offer our warmest condolences to the family of William Dodd. Our thoughts are with them at this time

Fatal Accidents in Arizona

Every year more than 1000 people lose their lives in motor vehicle accidents across the state of Arizona. Quite often, these classes can be attributed to some form of negligence. Some of the most common causes of fatal accidents in our state include:

Drivers who are impaired: When drivers are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, they often have a difficult time maintaining control of their vehicles. Alcohol and drugs slow the driver’s ability to make a sound and quick reactions in order to avoid a crash. In some cases, people can group dose off and go off the roadway and strike other vehicles.

Driving while distracted: When drivers are using their cell phones, eating, or engaging in other destructive behavior, they are forced to take their attention off the road ahead. Even a moment of inattention can have severe consequences for other drivers sharing the road.

Recklessness: We see many people suffer severe injuries and accidents due to drivers who engage in reckless actions. When drivers speed, run red lights and failed to yield to others, they place the lives of innocent drivers at risk.
