Surprise, AZ (April 16, 2022) – Police responded to reports of a fatal car accident on Grand Avenue in Surprise on Monday, April 11th.  

The collision took place at about 11:30 a.m. in the area of 163rd Avenue when Dewey Sigler, the driver of a rented Penske box truck, struck a Toyota.

The impact pushed the Toyota off the road causing injuries to two people. Both were transported to an area trauma center in unknown conditions.

Sigler’s rental truck then collided with a Nissan Altima and a tractor-trailer.   

The driver of the Nissan, since identified as 69-year-old Jeffrey Hilbert, died at the scene.

Emergency responders tried to treat Sigler in the back of a DPS vehicle. He was transported by paramedics to a local hospital for additional treatment.

According to court documents, Sigler’s toxicology tests showed “a probable positive for methamphetamines.” Investigators are currently awaiting the results of additional blood tests.

Once he was discharged from the hospital, he was arrested and charged with possession of narcotics and suspicion of homicide.

The accident remains under active investigation.

Wrongful Deaths in Arizona

No matter how it happens, no one is ever prepared for the sudden death of someone they love. When that death is the result of another person’s negligence, it is that much harder to understand how this could have happened. 

A Surprise wrongful death attorney cannot heal the heartache caused by a wrongful death, but they can help surviving family members get the compensation they deserve.  

When a victim endures injuries and other damages due to someone else’s negligence, they are entitled to file a personal injury suit to pursue recovery for those damages. In the event that someone’s negligence causes the victim’s death, however, family members will have to file a claim to secure recovery for their loss. 

No amount of money will return what has been taken from you, but our Surprise personal injury attorneys believe that the financial security provided by a wrongful death case award or settlement can help you rebuild your life and regain some sense of normalcy after an unexpected and preventable death.
