Seven Killed in Bus Accident on Phoenix Trip

seven killed in phoenix bound busSeven people have been killed and numerous others injured in a fatal bus accident on Thursday afternoon. According to the New Mexico State Police, the crash occurred on Interstate 40 near the town of Thoreau, New Mexico, along the Arizona border.

Shortly before noon, a semi-truck traveling eastbound had a tire blowout which caused it to veer into oncoming traffic and crash head-on into a Greyhound bus.

A total of 49 Greyhound passengers were traveling from Albuquerque to Phoenix when the accident occurred. The bus was expected to arrive in Phoenix at about 4:30 p.m. on Thursday.

When emergency responders first arrived, they were able to sift through the wreckage and extract victims from the bus. The crash left the bus with significant front-end damage and the semi-truck on its side with its cargo scattered across the highway and median.

New Mexico State Police have reported that the truck driver did not suffer any life-threatening injuries. However, there were multiple reports of serious injuries among passengers aboard the commercial bus.

Passengers were transported to several nearby hospitals, including Gallup Indian Medical Center and Rehoboth McKinley Christian Hospital. The most critical victims were sent to the University of New Mexico Hospital for treatment.

A phone line has been set up for family members seeking information regarding any loved ones they believe were on the bus.

    • Two family members were in a bad wreck a couple of years ago, and as a result called Phillips Law to represent them. Montana Thompson was the attorney assigned to the case with the help of Nemo Farr as legal assistant. Mr. Thompson litigated a very generous settlement for both my stepdaughter and her son. Because my grandson is a minor, I decided to act as conservator for him to ensure the settlement was safe and secure. Montana helped with that process, but it was Nemo who went way above and beyond the call in finding a financial institution to use for the restricted account. There were some glitches in that process but Nemo helped navigate them with a calm expertise which belies his age. I would consider them both great representatives of the level of commitment to their clients and assets to their firm.
    • I was recently served court documents that I was being sued from an accident that happened years ago. For someone who has never been through something like this and not familiar with the court lingo or where to even begin, it was very frustrating and stressful. I reached out to a family member who knew Tracy Laskos and the great reputation of Phillips Law Group and within the hours of the initial call for help, I had a direct number to Lead Attorney Nassar. Nassar heard my case and almost instantly put me at ease by explaining the process and how easy it was to handle. Nassar spoke to me like he was a friend, not like I was a client. I am so grateful to Tracy, Nasar and of course my cousin Stephanie for helping out and giving me the direction that I needed to get through this situation. I plan on referring my friends, family and patients that are in need of a personal injury Attorney to Phillips Law Group. Thank you!!

    • I want to thank attorneys Tim and Robert and the paralegal Bethany for all they had done on my case. They were all empathetic, knowledgeable and professional. All my questions were answered, emails returned in a timely matter, and promises fulfilled. I recommend Phillips Law Group if you need help with your injury case.
    • Sophia H. at Phillips Law Group has been an absolute joy to work with -quick, responsive, and professional in every interaction. Her breadth of knowledge, from administration to IT to finance, is nothing short of impressive.
