Arizona Truck Crash Kills Two Children, Injures a Third

September 15, 2023 Firm News

The Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) released information regarding a rollover crash involving a semi-truck and a passenger vehicle on the westbound lanes of Interstate 40 near milepost 195, close to Flagstaff. 

DPS reports have identified the victims as a 14-year-old boy and an 11-year-old girl, both of whom  lost their lives during the rollover crash. A 5-year-old child, also a passenger in the vehicle, is currently receiving medical care in a hospital for injuries sustained in the collision, according to available information.

The collision occurred around 9:10 am on a Sunday morning in late August.  According to DPS officials, it appears that the passenger vehicle made a sudden lane change directly in front of the commercial truck. This maneuver caused the car to veer sharply into the median. Subsequently, the semi-truck crashed into the median and overturned. 

If you as a passenger or driver have been injured in an accident caused by a big truck, you may be able to receive compensation for your injuries.
