Quartzsite Car Accident Leads to Three Fatalities | Legal News | News Ticker

Drivers of vehicles owe a legal duty of care to those who are in the area of their moving vehicle at the time, and this legal duty extends to a driver’s passengers. This duty basically requires that driver to avoid conduct that places those in the area in situations of unreasonable risk of harm, and when this duty is breached the driver can be found liable in an Arizona personal injury lawsuit. Tragically, it seems that some sort of mistake was made by an SUV driver who hit a parked vehicle on the shoulder of Interstate 10. As a result of this Quartzsite car accident, three people died. Police are still investigating the specific cause of the crash.

According to authorities, this fatal Quartzsite car accident occurred just after 5 a.m. yesterday morning on the eastbound Interstate 10 at Milepost 38 just east of Quartzsite. The driver of an SUV was moving down the road when he suddenly lost control of his vehicle and left the roadway. As a result, the vehicle slammed into a commercial vehicle that was parked along the side of the road. The driver of the SUV and two passengers inside the vehicle were killed as a result.
