- Phoenix Bus Crash Claims Two Victims
A fatalbus accident claimed the lives of two Phoenix residents early Sunday morning. According to the Phoenix Police Department, the crash occurred near the intersection of Thomas Road and North 79th Avenue.
Just before 7 a.m., a local transit bus came to a stop on Thomas Road as it waited for oncoming traffic to pass before making a left-hand turn into the Desert Sky Mall parking lot. As the bus attempted to turn, a vehicle driven by one of the two victims slammed into the back of the bus. Upon impact, the victim’s vehicle burst into flames.
The driver of the vehicle, as well as the vehicle’s passenger, were unable to free themselves from the wreckage.
When emergency responders arrived at the scene, they were able to extract the victims from the vehicle and transport them to a local hospital. However, upon arrival, the first victim was pronounced dead. The second victim died several hours later.
As a precaution, two people riding the bus at the time of the accident were also taken to an area hospital and treated for minor injuries.
Currently, police are investigating several possible causes of the bus accident.
In a similar incident earlier this year, a motorcycle collided with a transit bus near the intersection of Third Street and Fillmore Street. As the bus attempted to make a left-hand turn, a motorcyclist crashed his bike into the back of the bus.
There were no passengers on the bus during the accident, and the motorcyclist was transported to the hospital in critical condition.
Every day, Phoenix residents rely on buses to safely transport them around the city. But unfortunately, bus accidents happen on our roadways; and when they do, the results can be disastrous.

Jasmine Delgado is an amazing paralegal. She was patient, kind and extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommend Phillips law group

My Attorney Sean Davis and his paralegal Hannah Dustin worked on my case. They listened to the problems that I was having with my case and they both got right to work. First they found me a doctor that actually listened to my problems from my car accident and worked quickly to form a plan that was comfortable for me and the doctor. The doctor was the best and after a couple of procedures the pain in my neck was gone. Behind the scenes Sean and Hannah were working hard to get my case settled with the insurance company. They kept in contact with me on all aspects of my case. They settled my case much faster than I expected and for more than I was expecting. If you want two real professional legal people to work on your case, I would highly recommend Sean and Hannah to you. I cannot say enough nice things about these two. Thank you so much, Rickey Hart .

I have been with Phillips Law Group for a little over a year and I have learned what teamwork and family in a workplace looks like. There is always someone around to lend a helping hand, which is something I appreciate and cherish. I feel a sense of joy coming to work every day because of my co-workers as well as being able to help people in what can be a scary and stressful situation. I currently work as a Litigation Legal Assistant with an amazing team. When I started here, I was not very knowledgeable in personal injury. I was lucky to have been placed with an amazing team who was willing to take time to teach and pass on some great skills that have been a huge aid in helping me be successful in my position. I would recommend working here at Phillips Law Group, because they care about their employees and there is so much room for growth.
