Winona, AZ (August 2, 2025) – In the early morning hours of August 1, a multi‑vehicle rollover crash led to a partial closure of Interstate 40 near Twin Arrows, just east of Winona. The Arizona Department of Public Safety responded to the scene shortly before 4 a.m., where eastbound lanes were blocked as emergency personnel managed the wreckage.

Although the full extent of injuries has not yet been reported, at least one individual was transported to a local hospital for medical treatment. As of Friday morning, one eastbound lane had reopened, while westbound lanes remained open throughout the response. Authorities are continuing to investigate the cause of the crash.

We hope those injured in this accident recover quickly.

Car Accidents in Arizona

Winona, AZ - Multi-Vehicle Rollover Crash Shuts Down I-40Car accidents in Arizona are unfortunately frequent, especially along major highways like Interstate 40. The combination of high speeds, long stretches of roadway, and unpredictable weather conditions in northern Arizona can contribute to serious collisions. Each year, thousands of drivers and passengers are injured in crashes across the state.

Here’s some helpful information about common causes of rollover accidents and how they impact victims:

  • High-speed travel: Rollover accidents often happen at higher speeds. On interstates like I-40, even a small misjudgment can lead to a loss of control, especially when navigating curves or during lane changes.

  • Vehicle type: Taller vehicles such as SUVs and trucks have a higher center of gravity, making them more prone to rollovers during sharp turns or collisions.

  • Overcorrecting: Drivers who veer off the road and quickly overcorrect can cause the vehicle to tip or roll, particularly if road shoulders are uneven or steep.

  • Driver fatigue: Early morning or late night driving—especially in remote areas—can increase the risk of fatigue-related crashes. Fatigue reduces reaction time and decision-making ability, leading to serious accidents.

If you or someone you know was hurt in this crash, it’s important to reach out to an experienced car accident attorney as soon as possible.
