Multi-vehicle collisions, such as Monday’s crash near E Del Rio Dr, can be especially dangerous due to multiple points of impact and the increased potential for severe injuries. In Tempe, congested roadways and high-speed traffic between major intersections like Rural Rd and McClintock Dr create conditions where chain-reaction crashes can occur quickly. Common causes include distracted driving, unsafe lane changes, and following too closely.
When crashes involve serious injuries, quick access to emergency care is critical to improving outcomes. Safety officials advise drivers to maintain a safe following distance, anticipate sudden braking, and avoid distractions that can prevent a timely reaction to changing road conditions.
