  • Victim, Driver Identified in Fatal Pedestrian Crash

January 12, 2021

PHOENIX, AZ – One man was killed and another is facing charges in connection to a fatal pedestrian accident in Phoenix last Saturday night.

According to CBS 5, the accident occurred at about 10 p.m., when a Dodge Challenger traveling 70 mph hit 31-year-old Cesar Santos as he was walking in the area of 75th Avenue and Indian School Road. Santos was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police located the driver involved in the crash and took him into custody. He has been identified as 20-year-old Alejandro Bautista. Investigators believe he was involved in a street race when he struck Santos, who was walking outside of the designated crosswalk at the time.

Bautista is facing a charge of reckless manslaughter.

Early the following morning, a drunk driver struck and injured two police officers who were investigating the scene.

    • Great company and awesome service. Thanks Caroline fabos. Kudos to all.
    • It’s an Honor and a Privilege to work for a company that cares about its employees and clients for 12 years. I’ve seen Management go out of their way to help someone whether it’s a personal matter or work related. I am also reminded of many occasions where a Client needed urgent help and we as a Team were able to get the person immediate assistance. At Phillips Law we make that happen through Teamwork and a dedication to our profession. I’ve had numerous jobs in several other fields, those were just jobs. This is a home. Many of us have been here for quite a few years, it feels like one large extended family.
    • Jasmine Delgado is an amazing paralegal. She was patient, kind and extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommend Phillips law group
    • I tried a few previous law firms and none would take my car accident case with confidence they could get my anything. Phillips law group took my case and although it took around 4 years to get this case settled as I was in treatment, they never let up with insurance adjusters and they got me as much money as possible. They worked hard for me and advocated for me. Shoutout to key individuals who worked my case nonstop of the years, Robert Ross & Jasmine, you are AMAZING!
    • Jon Jamieson was amazing to work with . He came through with all of his promises.
    • 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.
    • Phillips is the best!! Love all that they do to give back to the community and how much they help those who are experiencing homelessness. ❤️
    • I would have no hesitation at all recommending Phillips Law Group. In particular, Juan Roque has impressed me with his professionalism, his integrity and his heart for the community!
    • Phillips Law Group does so much for the community!!! I especially enjoy seeing Juan Roque out there. This gentle giant always has a smile on his face and is a part of a caring and giving team.
    • Working at Phillips Law Group has been great the 1st few years in I noticed how well organized and run this Firm was from Intake to Settlement the Client has the expertise of a staff member uniquely qualified for the particular stage of each Clients claim and all other Law firms try to emulate what we do here but none quite get it right because they lack one major component “Compassion”. We are a FAMILY not just a group of people/employees. We care deeply about each other and our clients’ we are considerate, compassionate and make sure that all our Clients’ needs are met from beginning to end. That’s because we treat our clients just like we treat each other. Nothing like walking through the office and saying Hello to fellow employees who always seem to be smiling. 16yrs in and it only seems to be getting better.
