Crazy Car Crashes In Phoenix

Cops deal with them every day.

Sometimes it seems impossible to drive the speed limit here in Phoenix and the highways of Arizona. If you drive the speed limit, you’re almost impeding other traffic. Anyone who’s driving in Phoenix knows traffic rarely flows at the speed limit.

And to be sure, we see plenty of speeding tickets that were issued under questionable circumstances. But, the cops writing these tickets often see a lot of crazy car crashes that are speed related. I think this colors their worldview.

The typical driver might get a ticket once in their life, or maybe a ticket every few years. In other words, getting a ticket is a rare event for most people. For the police though, they spend all day, every day, dealing with all sorts of insane stuff that the average driver rarely encounters. Police are routinely peeling bodies out of crashed cars and pulling crashed cars out of houses.

Below are several photographs I collected from Nextdoor.com of some accidents in North Phoenix over the period of a couple weeks. These sorts of accidents are common for police, even though they may seem unusual to the rest us.
