When you have been injured in an accident in Tucson, Arizona, you need experienced legal representation that understands the unique dangers facing Southern Arizona drivers.

Tucson ranks among the deadliest large cities in America for motor vehicle crash deaths per capita. According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data, about 18 out of every 100,000 Tucson residents died in traffic crashes in recent years. ADOT data shows Tucson recorded 5,977 total crashes in 2024, with 93 fatal crashes resulting in 96 deaths and over 3,600 injuries.
Understanding Tucson’s Dangerous Roads
Tucson’s traffic fatality rate reflects the dangerous combination of wide multi-lane arterials, high speed limits, and limited pedestrian infrastructure. The city has some of the most dangerous streets in the nation for pedestrians, with 48 pedestrians killed in 2022 alone. Local insights include understanding the dangers of the I-10 corridor through Tucson, I-19 between Tucson and Nogales which ranks among Arizona’s deadliest highways, Grant Road and its dangerous intersections including Grant and Alvernon, Oracle Road which carries heavy traffic through the north side, and Broadway Boulevard, Speedway, and other major arterials.
Tucson’s Most Dangerous Intersections
According to Tucson Police Department data, intersection accidents make up 70 percent of all crashes in the area. The most dangerous intersections include Valencia Road and Nogales Highway, Golf Links Road and Swan Road, Grant Road and Alvernon Way with nearly 300 crashes since 2017, Broadway Boulevard and Wilmot Road which had more crashes than any other intersection last year, and Valencia Road and 12th Avenue where six deadly crashes have occurred in the last seven years.
The Grant Road and Alvernon Way intersection has been particularly deadly, leading to increased police presence and upcoming infrastructure changes including indirect left turns to reduce collision risks.

Pedestrian Accidents
Tucson has one of the highest pedestrian fatality rates in the nation. The city’s wide, multi-lane roadways with high speed limits and fewer crosswalks create dangerous conditions for people on foot.

I-10 and I-19 carry significant commercial truck traffic through Tucson, including international freight from Mexico.

Arizona law provides important protections for accident victims. Key aspects include a two-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims, Arizona’s pure comparative negligence rule under A.R.S.
