Tucson, AZ (July 29, 2022) – On the afternoon of Wednesday, July 27th, one person sustained serious injuries during a two-vehicle crash in Tucson.
According to reports, the crash took place on North Euclid Avenue between East Seneca Street and East Grant Road when the driver of a car struck a person riding a bicycle, leaving them with serious injuries.
Euclid Avenue was temporarily closed down to give way to the investigation and was re-opened to traffic at about 1:00 p.m.
The victim’s name has not been released. No additional information has been made available.
Our thoughts are with the injured victim and their family at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
There are many sets of circumstances that can cause a collision between a motor vehicle and a person riding a bicycle. In a perfect world, every driver would give their complete attention to the roadway, pedestrians, and bicycle riders at all times, but, unfortunately, this does not always happen.
Some common contributors to bicycle accidents in the area are:
Besides other drivers on the roadway, bicyclists also face additional concerns. There is a shortage of appropriate street warning signs as well as lanes designated for cyclists only. Bicyclists and bike lanes are not fully integrated into the roadways of many of Arizona’s communities. Even though this is gradually starting to change, there are still numerous areas that do not take adequate care to make sure that riders are protected from foreseeable accidents.
Both of these foster an environment where serious accidents involving bicycles are likely to take place. Even with all of these obstacles to safe cycling in mind, however, driver disregard and driver distraction remain the two leading causes of fatal and injury-causing bicycle accidents in the Phoenix area.
