Winning Trials since 1979

Gilbert, AZ (January 4, 2025) – A deadly collision involving two vehicles occurred Friday night on Loop 202 South Mountain near Lindsay Road, leading to significant traffic disruptions in the westbound lanes. The Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) responded to the scene to investigate the incident.

According to officials, the crash began when one vehicle lost control and struck a barrier wall on the right shoulder, coming to rest perpendicular to the roadway and blocking multiple travel lanes. Three occupants exited the vehicle and stood nearby. Shortly afterward, a second vehicle struck the stationary car, hitting two of the three individuals.

The impact caused the second vehicle to catch fire. DPS has confirmed fatalities, but the exact number of deceased and injured individuals remains unclear. Cleanup and investigations kept the westbound lanes closed for several hours before reopening early Saturday morning.

This incident highlights the dangers of standing near disabled vehicles on active roadways. Our deepest condolences go out to those affected by this tragic event.

Preventing Roadside Accidents in Arizona

Arizona’s highways, including Loop 202, are major thoroughfares where high speeds can escalate the risk of accidents. Pulling over safely and avoiding standing near vehicles on active lanes are essential precautions to prevent injuries or fatalities in such situations.

The Arizona Department of Transportation emphasizes using hazard lights, reflective gear, and distance from traffic when dealing with a roadside emergency. Public awareness campaigns encourage drivers to exercise caution when approaching stopped vehicles and to follow the state’s “Move Over” law, which requires motorists to give space to stopped emergency or disabled vehicles.

In tragic events like the Loop 202 crash, timely medical intervention and legal assistance are critical for the injured and their families. Understanding one’s rights and navigating the aftermath of such incidents can be challenging without proper guidance.
