Injury Collisions on Phoenix Interstates
Interstates like I-10 remain among the most dangerous roadways in Arizona due to their high speeds, heavy traffic, and frequent merging activity. Interchanges near N 31st Ave are especially prone to collisions as vehicles navigate lane changes and sharp ramps.
According to Arizona traffic safety data, a large percentage of serious injury crashes in metro Phoenix occur on major interstates. Factors such as distracted driving, tailgating, and impaired driving significantly increase the likelihood of high-impact collisions.
Motorists are encouraged to allow extra following distance, reduce distractions, and remain attentive to merging traffic when traveling on Phoenix freeways. Defensive driving plays a critical role in preventing severe crashes.
