Hit-and-Run Crashes in Arizona
Hit-and-run accidents are a significant concern across Arizona, especially in urban areas like Phoenix, where busy streets and intersections see heavy pedestrian and vehicular traffic. These incidents often result in severe injuries, leaving victims without immediate help and families grappling with emotional and financial burdens.
Arizona law requires drivers involved in accidents to remain at the scene and render aid. Fleeing the scene not only worsens the impact on victims but also carries severe legal penalties.
Pedestrians are particularly vulnerable in crashes, especially when struck while in stationary positions such as bus stops. In such cases, identifying the responsible driver is crucial for ensuring justice and accountability.
