Traffic Collision Hazards on Nogales Hwy
Nogales Hwy is a heavily traveled route serving southern Tucson and Pima County. As a major thoroughfare for commuters and commercial transport, the highway is no stranger to traffic-related incidents, especially in rural or dimly lit segments such as the area near Pima Mine Rd.
Even late at night, traffic volumes can remain significant due to shift changes, freight activity, and cross-border travel. When combined with reduced visibility and potential fatigue, the risk of injury collisions is considerably heightened.
According to the Arizona Department of Transportation, late-night crashes on state and county highways often involve single-vehicle incidents or head-on collisions resulting from lane departures or failure to yield.
Drivers are urged to stay alert during nighttime travel, reduce speed on less illuminated roads, and avoid distractions to help prevent injury accidents.
If you or a loved one was injured in this crash, seeking medical attention and understanding your legal rights is vital to ensuring full recovery and fair compensation.
