Common Causes of Vehicle Collisions in Tucson: How to Stay Safe
Vehicle collisions are a common occurrence in Tucson, especially in high-traffic areas like N Oracle Rd and W Miracle Mile. Rush hour congestion, high speeds, and frequent intersections create conditions ripe for accidents. The crash on Monday serves as a reminder of how quickly a seemingly routine drive can turn into a dangerous situation.
