Phoenix car accidents cause more injury, death, and economic loss than any other crime or civic issue

Motor vehicle accidents are a common occurrence in Phoenix and across Maricopa County. Many crashes are completely avoidable, caused by drunk drivers or distracted drivers. Whatever the cause, car accidents are a major safety and economic issue for the Phoenix community.

Get information on car crashes from the Police Departments in the Phoenix region

The Phoenix Police Department(link is external) offers information on accidents, and also provides information on filing a police report and on obtaining a police report(link is external).

The Arizona Department of Motor Vehicles(link is external) provides information on traffic and safety laws.

These departments are a good resource to get information after a car crash.

When someone is injured in a Phoenix car crash, what needs to happen next?

In an injury accident, it is crucial to get appropriate medical treatment, regardless of the financial cost.

The major hospitals in the area include:

As soon as possible, an injured person should contact their insurance company to find out if medical treatment is covered under their insurance policy.

When a Phoenix car accident is serious or fatal, it is crucial to find a Phoenix auto accident lawyer

When an injury is serious or a death occurs, the next step is to find an experienced Phoenix injury attorney to start the financial recovery process by launching an insurance claim. Major Phoenix injury or wrongful death claims are complicated and difficult to manage. Having a good Phoenix car accident lawyer on board is a great relief to injured people, or to the family left behind when an accident proves fatal.

Hi Mr. Brewer, Thank you for reaching out to Accident Data Center. Our database doesn't have information for crashes that occurred that long ago. The best chance you have to get information is by going to the law enforcement agency in the city the crash occurred and finding out if they keep collision records back that far. Best of luck, Ingrid, Accident Data Center

We came upon a rollover accident around I17 just passed Happy Valley on Friday, December 18, 2015 around 11:00 am. Emergency vehicles were not yet on site and it appeared to be a serious, if not fatal accident. Does anyone have information on the status of the people involved? We are very concerned and praying for those involved.

Last night about 9:30 I saw two cars collide on 20th st and Highland Ave. One driver was unresponsive and was rushed by ambulance. I was wondering if anyone had any information regarding his condition. Just concerned and want to make sure he was okay.

The driver is a friend of a friend of mine. Last I heard, he was doing OK, just had his head stitched up. 

Can you tell me how the accident happened? My friends and I haven't gotten the full story, but we don't want to bother him.

So glad to hear he's doing well! I've been thinking about it since it happened and have been praying. 

He ran a red light. It was very scary to watch but again, so glad he's doing well!

At 101 and Elliot, northbound, between 6:15 and 6:45am, I witnessed a car accident that may have been fatal. It shook me up quite a bit as I was so close I could have been a part of it. I've always wondered if the woman in the red sedan that crashed head first facing east into the concrete bridge support was OK. I could see her in my rearview mirror, hands in the air, screaming. So many people pulled over and called 911, but I never saw anything in the news about it. Based on a bumper sticker on her car, I think she was probably a music teacher. I was a new teacher on my way to work that morning, but to this day, that accident is still vivid in my memory.

The accident I'm inquiring about was on 9-16-03. I'm not sure that was clear in the subject line.

I was driving my 2018 Nissan Sentra N. on Longmore, turned W. on Broadway.  A large,  lifted black pickup traveling eastbound ran the red light and struck me.  Witnesses could not give further identifying info of the truck or driver.  The truck would have left front damage.  Any info out there?
