A head-on crash on state route 347 near Maricopa occurred around 1 am on April 21st. The crash resulted in closures of northbound and southbound traffic for 7 hours. According to investigators, a car crossed over the median and also, crashed head-on into a tow-truck.
Neither of the occupants of the car wore seat belts. This resulted in the passenger being ejected from the car and also the driver suffering serious injuries. Unfortunately, the passenger died at the scene.
Emergency personnel transported both drivers of the tow-truck and car to a local hospital. They received treatment for serious injuries.
A sergeant with the Arizona Department of Public Safety made a point to comment on the importance of wearing seat belts. He further stated that had the two occupants of the car properly wore seat belts, the severity of injuries would, most likely, not have been the same.
