Pedestrian Struck by Vehicle on 7th Street
Phoenix, AZ (February 04, 2022) – On February 03, three people sustained injuries in a 7th Street car-pedestrian crash.
The collision happened at the intersection with Baseline Road.
Emergency rescuers immediately responded to the scene and took the three seriously injured victims to a hospital.
Moreover, investigators said a car that was traveling very fast struck a car that was stopped at a traffic light. That vehicle then veered off and struck a pedestrian before it finally struck a wall of a fast-food drive-thru.
Police said that of the three victims was a pedestrian.
Similarly, a bicycle was left on the crash scene, but it is not clear if someone involved in the crash was riding it.
Meanwhile, the authorities are investigating the 7th Street car-pedestrian crash.
Avoid distractions. Did you know that distracted driving includes more than using your phone? Your eyes should be on the road at all times. Anything that takes your eyes off the road like eating, getting something from your bag, interacting with passengers, applying makeup, shaving, etc are all types of distracted driving.
Traffic Accidents Could Happen Anytime
Even though state laws prohibit cell phone use when driving, upwards of 80% of car accidents are a result of distracted drivers.
