As Sierra Vista car accident attorneys, we were very sorry to hear about the serious injuries that a 52-year-old woman sustained on Saturday, February 4, 2012 after her car collided with a 2011 Ford F250 pickup, according to a news report published in the Sierra Vista Herald. She was driving a 2003 Toyota Corolla, and the crash occurred at the intersection of Charleston Road and Colombo Avenue at about 8 a.m. The woman had to be airlifted to a Tucson hospital. It is unclear whether the other driver was injured. We wish the woman a speedy and full recovery.
Causes of This Sierra Vista Car Accident
It is unclear what caused this Sierra Vista car accident, and police are asking witnesses to call Officer Darryl Scott at (520) 452-7500 with any information. When crashes occur at intersections, it is possible it happens when one driver failed to yield to another during a left turn, or when someone runs a red light. These Arizona intersection accidents can result in serious injuries, as is apparent in this crash. It is also more dangerous when a larger vehicle, like the pickup truck, crashes into a smaller passenger car, which is lighter and lower to the ground.
