Seven Injured in Three-Car Collision

A three-vehicle collision in Pheonix, Arizona injured seven people Sunday night.

A 50-year-old woman and a 60-year-old woman suffered from the most serious injuries and were rushed to local trauma centers, stated Phoenix fire Capt. Shelly Jamison. One of the women appeared to have potentially life-threatening injuries. The five others involved suffered less serious injuries and were transported to St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center and county hospitals.

It appears that one of the drivers of the three vehicles may have turned the wrong way and began driving the wrong way into traffic at about 9 p.m. on 16th Street just north of Interstate 17 in Phoenix, said authorities.

Nearly 20 Phoenix firefighters responded to the accident scene because of the high number of victims involved. The accident was considered a first-alarm medical call.
