Mesa, AZ (September 16, 2025) – A multi-vehicle accident resulting in injuries occurred Monday morning on E Broadway Rd near S 32nd St in Mesa. Emergency crews from local fire and rescue agencies were dispatched to the scene shortly after 9:00 a.m. following reports that at least two vehicles, including a Hyundai and an SUV, were involved.
Emergency responders quickly moved injured individuals into the HOV lane to facilitate easier access for medical teams. One of the victims, according to emergency radio traffic, was particularly shaken and had recently undergone surgery, prompting an urgent need for medical evaluation. At least two patients received care on site, though the total number of people involved has not yet been confirmed.
The crash occurred along a busy stretch of Broadway Rd, near the intersection with 32nd Ave—a heavily trafficked area in Mesa’s east side. Fire and medical personnel were observed coordinating vehicle access through the eastbound median, with some units arriving via 43rd Ave to reach the scene more efficiently.
While specifics about how the crash occurred remain under investigation, the scene involved significant congestion and prompted traffic delays in the surrounding area as responders worked to stabilize victims and secure the roadway.
Our thoughts are with the individuals injured in this accident, and we hope for a smooth and full recovery for all those affected.
Multi-Vehicle Collisions in Arizona
Crashes involving multiple vehicles—like the one reported on Broadway Rd in Mesa—often result in more severe outcomes due to the increased number of collision points and the potential for chain reactions. In high-traffic corridors, particularly during morning commute hours, such accidents can escalate quickly and complicate emergency response efforts.
Broadway Rd is a major east-west arterial route through Mesa, serving both residential and commercial traffic. Intersections like 32nd St are particularly vulnerable to crashes during peak hours due to turning movements, lane changes, and fluctuating speeds. When multiple vehicles are involved—as in this case with a Hyundai and an SUV—injuries can vary in severity and require swift triage and transport.
Emergency crews in this incident used the HOV lane to access and treat the victims—a strategic decision often used in congested situations where access is limited. Reports of one patient having recently undergone surgery suggest that even minor trauma could be medically significant, emphasizing the importance of timely and professional care.
For those injured in multi-vehicle crashes, the aftermath can involve much more than immediate physical injuries. Medical recovery, insurance claims, liability determinations, and emotional stress all play a role in the weeks and months following a crash. Early documentation, follow-up care, and legal consultation can be crucial for protecting one’s health and rights.
