Phoenix, AZ (February 7, 2025) – A man was killed after being struck by a vehicle late Wednesday night in downtown Phoenix. The fatal pedestrian accident occurred near 5th Ave and the Interstate 10 Access Road, prompting a swift response from local law enforcement and emergency medical services.

Phoenix Police Department officers responded to the scene around 11:30 PM following reports of a crash involving a pedestrian. Upon arrival, officers found a man suffering from serious injuries. Paramedics provided immediate medical assistance at the scene before transporting him to a nearby hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

The identity of the man has not yet been released pending notification of his family. According to police, the driver involved in the collision remained at the scene and cooperated with authorities. Preliminary findings indicate that the pedestrian was in the roadway when he was struck by a vehicle traveling eastbound on the access road.

Police have stated that impairment does not appear to be a factor in the crash. The investigation remains ongoing, but the roads in the area have since been reopened to traffic.

Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the victim during this difficult time.

Pedestrian Accidents in Arizona

Pedestrian accidents, like the tragic incident in downtown Phoenix, highlight the dangers faced by individuals navigating busy urban streets. Arizona, and specifically cities like Phoenix, has one of the highest rates of pedestrian fatalities in the nation. Factors contributing to these incidents include high traffic volumes, limited visibility at night, and the complex layout of urban road networks.

Intersections and access roads near highways, such as the area around 5th Ave and the I-10 Access Road, can be particularly hazardous for pedestrians. These areas often see fast-moving vehicles, and pedestrians crossing outside of designated crosswalks are at increased risk of being struck. While in this case, impairment was ruled out, other factors like speed, distraction, and road conditions are commonly investigated following such accidents.

The Arizona Department of Transportation emphasizes the importance of both drivers and pedestrians exercising caution. For pedestrians, wearing visible clothing, using crosswalks, and staying alert are key safety practices. For drivers, reducing speed in pedestrian-heavy areas and maintaining vigilance, especially at night, can significantly decrease the likelihood of such tragic events.

For families affected by fatal pedestrian accidents, the aftermath can be overwhelming. In addition to the emotional toll, there may be financial burdens related to medical expenses, funeral costs, and other unforeseen challenges. Understanding legal rights and accessing support services can help families navigate these difficult times.

If you or a loved one has been involved in a pedestrian accident, it’s important to seek medical attention and consult with legal professionals to understand your options.
