As Phoenix rollover accident attorneys, we were sorry to hear about a woman who had to be extricated from her car and transported to a local hospital after her car rolled over Wednesday morning, January 11, 2012, according to Fox 10. The accident occurred near 32nd Street and Broadway just off Interstate 10. According to police, either a van or a car ran a red light, causing the rollover collision. We are unsure at this time about the extent of the victims’ injuries. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and we wish them a full recovery.

Causes of This Phoenix Rollover Accident

This Phoenix rollover accident was caused when a driver ran a red light. Running red lights is extremely dangerous. Cars can collide and roll, as they did in this case, because of the speed and angle of impact. When cars are hit on the side, passengers can also be seriously hurt. Police are still working to determine which driver ran the red light. This case deserves proper investigation since it is against the law to disregard stop lights.
