Surprise Car Accident Results in Multiple Injuries
Reports of vehicle crashes are starting to pile up as we are already nearing mid-February which, statistically speaking, is quite normal given the millions of car accidents reported each year. In 2009 alone, 5,505,000 crashes were reported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration; More than thirty thousand of which were identified as fatal crashes.
A car crash was recently reported involving a red coupe and a sedan at the intersection of West Bell Road and North Cotton Lane in Surprise Friday evening (AZ Central 02/05/2011). While further investigations are still being conducted, initial reports reveal that the southbound red coupe on Cotton Lane from Bell Road hit the other car that was headed eastbound on Bell.
The wreck left both drivers hurt, one suffering a head injury, possibly a skull fracture, and the other suffering pain and seat belt burn. The drivers were rushed to separate hospitals for treatment.
Though 5.5 million crashes a year may sound too much for a country with 300 million people, figures were actually lower compared to 2008, posing a -5.3 percent change. Fatal crashes have also been declining as of recent, in fact 2009’s roadway fatalities were the lowest since 1950 (33,808 fatalities as opposed to 33,186 in 1950).
