Local EMTs were at the scene of the accident to treat victims and transport at least one to an area hospital. It appears two vehicles were involved in the crash, which occurred in the left lanes of the highway near milepost 236, but the victims’ current conditions and identities have not been released. News footage from the scene showed two sedans pulled onto the shoulder of the highway, both with front-end and back-end damage. Parademics were at the scene and working alongside officers to assist the victims of the crash.

The accident remains under investigation at this time.

We would like to extend our thoughts to the injured victims and their families in hopes of a full recovery.

Multi-Vehicle Crashes in Arizona

Black Canyon City, AZ - Injuries Reported in Multi-Vehicle Crash Near Rock SpringsOver the last several years, Arizona had one of the highest rates of multi-vehicle crashes in the nation, according to the Governor’s Highway Safety Association. And in 2016, Arizona had one of the highest fatality rates following multi-car crashes, going onto record several hundred deaths by the end of the year.

And by the end of each calendar year for the past decade, almost 1,000 fatalities have been seen statewide as a result of these serious car accidents. It’s clear that when it comes to these crashes, victims and their families are paying a steep price as a result of other drivers’ negligence.
