Fatal Arizona Traffic Accident on I-10 Caused by Tire Blowout | Legal News | News Ticker

There are certain Arizona car accidents that can be caused by something going wrong with one of the vehicles involved in a collision. Tragically, that appears to be the case with a fatal Arizona auto accident that occurred on Friday that killed one person and injured 11 others. According to police, the accident was caused by a tire blowout on a vehicle that collided with a van full of passengers. The fallout that led to a chain-reaction accident was as severe as it was gruesome, and police are continuing to investigate the situation.

According to police, this fatal Arizona traffic accident occurred on Friday on Interstate 10 near Arizona Highway 85 in West Valley. Peter Bocskov, 45, of Buckeye, was driving his Ford pickup truck in a westward direction on I-10 when a tire on his vehicle failed. He lost control of his truck and it collided with a van carrying several people that was moving in the same direction. As a result of this initial collision, the van veered into the center median, overturned and ejected several people who were inside. One unidentified woman was killed in the crash, and 11 others were injured to varying degrees.
