A devastating head-on collision claimed the life of a 46-year-old man during the chaos of rush hour in Phoenix, as reported by law enforcement officials on Wednesday. According to AZFamily.com, Jimmy Anthony Aviles was at the wheel westbound when he lost control and barrelled into oncoming traffic near 29th Street and Southern Avenue, his vehicle colliding with another car.
The aftermath of the collision witnessed Aviles sustaining grave injuries, he was quickly transported to a local hospital where he succumbed to his wounds while the other driver involved in the wreck was also hospitalized although with injuries that weren't considered life-threatening, and the evening traffic was brought to a near standstill as responders worked the scene. Phoenix police are probing the incident, with early indications suggesting that Aviles may have been impaired driving speculation that now awaits confirmation from pending lab analysis as 12 News also noted the crash is still under active investigation.
The tragic turn of events unfolded around 5:00 p.m., a time when roads are typically congested with vehicles and tempers run high with commuters eager to return to the comforts of home, this routine disruption escalated into a death-knell for one man and a harrowing close call for another. The Phoenix traffic division's investigators are meticulously piecing together the moments leading up to the catastrophe in an effort to paint a clear picture of the cause.
