Hit and run crashes happen for many reasons, often when negligent drivers choose to flee instead of rendering aid. Common causes include:
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs (often a drunk driver)
Driving without insurance or a valid license
Fear of arrest or prior criminal history
Distracted driving or rear-ended collisions in low-visibility conditions
Panic following an accident resulting in serious injuries
Hitting a pedestrian, cyclist, or parked car and fleeing before police arrive
These collisions can greatly impact your health, finances, and overall well-being. That’s why it’s extremely important to contact an experienced attorney immediately after a hit and run in Mesa.
Understanding the scale of hit and run incidents in Mesa and across Arizona underscores the importance of having an experienced legal team on your side.
According to the City of Mesa 2023 Annual Crash Report, there were 160 bicycle crashes in Mesa during 2023, with 17 identified as hit-and-run collisions. The same report shows that 112 pedestrian crashes occurred in the city, and 20 of those involved a fleeing driver.
Data from the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) reveals that statewide there were 121,345 total traffic crashes in 2023, including 1,183 fatal crashes and 37,457 injury crashes. Of these, over 15,000 crashes were classified as hit and run incidents, resulting in 64 fatalities and 3,605 injuries.
Additional insights from the City of Mesa Transportation Department indicate that serious injury and fatal crashes in Mesa most frequently occur at major intersections, such as Alma School Road and Southern Avenue, often involving angle collisions or left-turn failures.
These statistics show that hit and run accidents are not isolated events, they happen regularly and can greatly impact victims’ lives throughout Mesa and the East Valley.
