According to ABC 15, 42-year-old Lukina Yazzie was crossing near 21st Avenue and Indian School Road at about 10:30 p.m. when she was hit by a tan Chevrolet Tahoe traveling westbound.

Emergency responders pronounced Yazzie dead at the scene. Police say she was outside of the designated crosswalk area when the incident occurred.

The driver of the Tahoe was gone by the time authorities arrived. However, the vehicle was found abandoned sometime later near 24th Avenue and Thomas Road.

    • 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 .
    • 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.
    • Although my accident was fortunately not a major one, The Phillips Law Group AZ treated it as such. Their staff, specifically Mr Juan Roque was very professional, courteous and most importantly very informative. Mr Roque's attentive service was phenomenal and I highly recommend this firm!
