Glendale, AZ (August 28, 2026) – Several children were injured Thursday afternoon, August 27, in a three-vehicle crash on 67th Avenue just south of Deer Valley Road in Glendale. Emergency crews were called to the scene at approximately 3:45 p.m.
According to Glendale Police, the crash involved a pickup truck that overturned and a sedan carrying several children.
One child was reported unconscious with a head injury. The other children were being treated for injuries described as non-life-threatening.
Arrowhead Loop Road was closed during the response and later reopened Thursday night.
Authorities continue reviewing the crash. We hope all of the injured children recover fully.
How Rollover Movement Can Worsen Injuries to Young Passengers
Children can be more vulnerable in serious crashes because their bodies are smaller and still developing, which can affect how impact forces are distributed.
When several vehicles collide, occupants may experience more than one impact, and rollover movement can add another source of injury. Head injuries can be especially concerning because symptoms may be severe or change quickly.
Vehicle speed, seating position, restraint use, impact angle, and the sequence of collisions can all affect injury severity. When several children are involved, emergency crews may also need to evaluate and treat multiple young patients at the same time.
