Phoenix, AZ - Chain-Reaction Crash on Cave Creek Rd

Phoenix, AZ (July 18, 2025) – A three-vehicle collision took place on July 17 at the intersection of Cave Creek Road and Greenway Parkway.

On Thursday afternoon, traffic slowed as a pedestrian crossed the intersection. The driver of a white sedan hesitated while making a left turn to yield to the pedestrian, allowing the vehicle to roll too far into the intersection. That’s when the sedan was struck by another vehicle, causing a chain reaction with a third car. Witnesses reported that the occupant of the white sedan sustained injuries. Emergency personnel arrived shortly after and provided medical assistance before the driver was transported to a local hospital for further evaluation. Police are reviewing intersection camera footage to determine the sequence of events and assess fault.

We hope the sedan driver recovers fully and quickly.

Car Accidents in Arizona

Phoenix, AZ - Chain-Reaction Crash on Cave Creek RdVehicle collisions are a major concern throughout Arizona, with a particularly high incidence at busy city intersections like those in Phoenix due to pedestrian traffic and turning conflicts. Each year, thousands suffer injuries in urban crashes involving pedestrians or left-turn incidents, often resulting in significant medical costs and lasting injuries. Insurance claims for intersection accidents represent a consistent portion of auto injury cases statewide.

Here are some factors that commonly contribute in these scenarios, based on crash dynamics and intersection studies:

  • Distracted Pedestrians or Drivers: Pedestrians or drivers using smartphones or wearing headphones may fail to notice signals or vehicle movement, increasing the likelihood of hesitation or sudden stops in intersections.

  • Failure to Yield on Left Turns: Drivers turning left must wait for a clear path, but confusion or impatience can lead them to proceed prematurely, triggering collisions.

  • Lack of Intersection Visibility: Poor signage, unclear lane markings, or obstructed views from landscaping and signage can reduce reaction time for drivers, making it harder to judge crossing pedestrians or oncoming vehicles.

  • Speeding through Intersections: Vehicles traveling above safe speeds have less time to stop when unexpected situations occur, leading to collisions and exacerbated crash impacts.
