According to NHTSA, in 2009, almost 6 million car crashes reported in United States in which 30,000 were fatal; and left 2 million people injured. About 31% of fatalities were cause by over speeding.
Two reported car crash happened on both sides of Anthem. In Southbound, a single-car crash took one life and just a matter of 25 minutes another car crash happened on the northbound side.
The first crash happened at about 1pm last Sunday afternoon according to Daisy Mountain Fire Department spokesperson. A convertible car was travelling at a high rate of speed when suddenly it lost control and traveled away from the road at about 150 yards from the Anthem Way Bridge.
When the firefighter arrived at the scene, the car was already fully covered with flames after it ignited following the rollover. This was also the reason why they haven’t saved the driver of the car.
The accident led the authorities to close the southbound lane near the Anthem Way exit temporarily, which resulted to heavy traffic.
Just after 25 minutes, another case of rollover happened on the other side. One car bumped on another car on northbound I-17 luckily no one was hurt and traffic was not affected.
