Several Phoenix Car Accidents Involving 69 Vehicles Send Six to Hospital | Legal News | News Ticker

When chain reaction car accidents occur, disaster can instantly follow. This is especially true when chain reaction car accidents occur on an interstate, where people are moving at high rates of speed and there is little if any time to react and to avoid an accident that’s happening. Unfortunately, this appears to be what occurred on Saturday evening when a Phoenix car accident involving 69 vehicles sent six people to hospitals and injured two people significantly. Police are still attempting to trace the cause of the crash.

According to authorities, this latest Phoenix car accident occurred on Saturday evening at approximately 6:30 p.m. There were actually three separate crashes in rapid succession in the area where this incident occurred on westbound Interstate 10 near Washington Avenue downtown. While there appears to be no defined cause for this incident, police did mention that a sudden rain storm arose at approximately that time, and summer monsoons in Phoenix can strike quickly and dump enormous amounts of precipitation on roads in a short amount of time. Most should feel fortunate that no one was killed in this incident.
