2-vehicle crash in Maricopa

According to the Maricopa Police, at around 1 p.m. today, the vehicles collided at the intersection of John Wayne Parkway and Bowlin Road, causing both to travel off the road.

The first vehicle, heading northbound in the left turning lane, made an attempt to turn west onto Bowlin Road. And, according to Maricopa Police, the driver said she didn’t remember if she had a green arrow or not (Yikes! Kind of got to be sure girl!!!).

The second vehicle was in the southbound lane on John Wayne, in the #3 position (Sounds like a NasCar race right?). You can imagine the result.

Vehicle #1 turned, RIGHT in front of vehicle #2, causing vehicle #2 to crash right into the front of his vehicle with the passenger side of vehicle #1.

Airbags were deployed in vehicle #2 (thankfully). This caused minor injuries to the driver and front seat passenger. Those bags shoot out FAST and HARD!

In vehicle #1, a little child, who was in a child restraint in the rear-seat, sustained a minor injury also. The child was transported to Banner Children’s at Desert Hospital in Phoenix. We haven’t heard anything about the child’s well being yet.

The SR 347 and Bowlin Road intersection was closed partially for almost four hours until the vehicles were cleared.

Be careful out there folks. Some people are NOT paying attention!
