As Phoenix car accident attorneys, we were saddened to learn about the death of one man and the injuries of three others after a car accident November 27, 2011, according to a news report in The Desert Sun. The car accident occurred on Interstate 10 near Desert Center, and it involved a pickup truck that rolled into opposing traffic at 11:26 a.m. Our thoughts and prayers are with the injured victims, as well as the deceased man’s family at this time.
Causes of This Phoenix Car Accident
Police are still investigating what caused the truck to rollover into oncoming traffic. It is possible that the driver was impaired, or perhaps he was experiencing a truck malfunction of some kind. Interestingly, a different rollover occurred just one day before in a nearby area. It is also possible that road conditions were to blame for these rollover car accidents and maybe there is partial fault to blame on the maintenance of the roadway.
