Evening Highway Collisions in Pima County
Evening collisions on major roadways like Valencia Rd and Nogales Hwy are becoming increasingly common in Pima County.

The Valencia–Nogales junction is especially vulnerable, as it serves as a convergence point for commercial, residential, and freight traffic.
Injury crashes in these zones often result in more complex recovery timelines due to the severity of impact at higher speeds and the types of vehicles involved.
