- Teens Seriously Hurt When Car Crashes into Power Pole
July 26, 2016
Two people were injured in an accident early Friday morning when a 19-year-old driver crashed a car carrying four passengers into a power pole at the 29th Street and Beverly Lane intersection. The driver may have been drinking alcohol before the crash and could face charges, according to police.
The driver and a 16-year-old passenger were taken to a nearby hospital in serious condition. The three other 15-year-old passengers sustained non-life threatening injuries.
The driver’s parents went to the scene of the accident and told authorities that their son had taken the car without permission.
The crash caused power lines to fall to the street, knocking out power for nearly 2,800 people in Phoenix. Crews closed the road while clearing power lines and worked into the early morning hours to restore power.
The crash is still under investigation.
Drunk Driving Continues to be a Problem
Friday’s accident may not have resulted in any deaths, but drunk driving causes thousands of deaths every year on American roads.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 9,967 people died in drunk driving car accidents in 2014, which is about 28 people per day.
Drunk driving is also very costly for drivers and the country at large. The NHTSA says that drunk driving costs drivers $800 per year and costs the country $199 billion per year.

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 .

My review is for Kathy Hudson a legal assistant at the law firm. She is great! She is very professional and a fair based person. She was never rude to me and always called me back. She listened to me and had my best interest as number 1. Mr Nasir who is a supervisor at law firm also was very professional and helpful. Not sure if spelling his name correctly but sorry if not. As far as mr Ross and the lady that runs the front desk reception I would say they are the most unprofessional and rude people I have met at a law firm in my life especially beings they were representing me. But Kathy made it overall a better experience. Thx Kathy.
