Bicycle accidents are a common occurrence on Arizona roadways, particularly in busy urban areas like Phoenix. Intersections such as N 11th Ave and W Camelback Rd can present significant risks for cyclists, especially during evening hours when visibility is reduced.
Collisions involving bicyclists often result in serious injuries due to the lack of physical protection.
