Seven people were hospitalized following a Phoenix car accident involving a Toyota Corolla, a minivan and a Valley Metro Bus. According to AZFamily.com, the bus accident occurred on Thomas Road west of 83rd Avenue in Phoenix. The report states the driver of the Corolla made an unsafe lane change and sideswiped a minivan carrying seven people. The van subsequently crashed into a Metro bus, which was directed into a utility pole. All seven occupants of the minivan were hospitalized following the crash though none appeared to have suffered a serious injury. The 66-year-old driver of the Corolla left the scene of the crash but was later arrested by the authorities.
Many Arizona car accidents involve a driver making an unsafe lane change. Arizona Revised Statute states: “A person shall drive a vehicle as nearly as practicable entirely within a single lane and shall not move the vehicle from that lane until the driver has first ascertained that the movement can be made with safety.” Making a lane change without yielding the right-of-way of looking for other motorists can put everyone on the roadway at great risk.
