Tucson Car Accident Cause

Police are still investigating exactly what happened. As car accident lawyers, we see many crashes involving left-turn incidents, speeding, and failure to yield. Some drivers fail to yield to oncoming cars when they are turning left or merging into traffic with a right turn. Distraction may also have played a part. According to some studies, distracted drivers can often be as dangerous as impaired drivers.
