Vehicle Collisions in Arizona
Arizona highways, including I-10, are known for high traffic volumes that often contribute to accidents. Tucson, a major hub in the state, sees its share of vehicle collisions due to factors such as speeding, distracted driving, and challenging road conditions. Last year, the Arizona Department of Transportation reported over 127,000 vehicle crashes statewide, many resulting in injuries.
Highways like I-10 are particularly prone to accidents because of the mix of passenger vehicles and commercial traffic. Intersections and ramps, such as E Valencia Rd, are high-risk zones where misjudgments or sudden stops can lead to collisions.
