Intersection Accidents in Arizona: High-Risk Areas Like West Phoenix
Intersections such as N 67th Ave and W Encanto Blvd often serve as major commuting routes and are statistically more prone to accidents due to the convergence of turning, merging, and cross traffic. According to the Arizona Department of Transportation, intersection-related crashes accounted for nearly 35% of all injury collisions in the state in 2023.
Common contributing factors in these types of accidents include red light violations, distracted driving, and speeding. In urban areas like Phoenix, these risks are compounded by high vehicle volumes and dense pedestrian traffic, making intersections a critical point for focused traffic safety efforts.
Those involved in intersection accidents should seek immediate medical care—even for injuries that appear minor—and consult with authorities and insurance providers to ensure all aspects of the incident are properly documented. Arizona residents are encouraged to understand their rights in the event of a crash, particularly when another driver’s negligence may have played a role.
