Peoria, AZ – UPDATE: Elizabeth Simpson, Jace Hochstetler, Two Children Killed in Crash on 107th Ave near Lone Cactus Dr

Peoria, AZ (November 30, 2022) – As previously reported, a fatal car accident took the lives of two parents and their 14-year-old daughter on November 20. Three other children were also involved and injured in the collision. Their teenage daughter was put on life support at the hospital due to the severity of the injuries she sustained in the accident but later lost her life. 

At around 9:00 p.m., the incident was reported to officials in Peoria, who promptly responded to the scene. Reports indicate that a Mazda van, driven by Elizabeth Simpson of Glendale, age 36, accompanied by her fiance, Jace Hochstetler of Phoenix, age 31, and their four children, was headed south on 107th Avenue when it collided with another van that was turning left off of Lone Cactus Drive, south of Deer Valley Road. 

Simpson and Hochstetler died at the scene, while the four children were transported to a local hospital. Simpson’s daughter, Harley, later succumbed to her injuries. Two other children at the hospital, including a baby and a 10-year-old boy, are still being treated for injuries, though the baby is said to be OK. 

A second child has succumbed to her injuries, according to reports provided by friends of the family. Authorities are working to determine whether the driver of the second vehicle was intoxicated at the time of the accident. 

We would like to offer our sincere condolences to the family of the deceased victims at this time.

Arizona Car Accidents

Over 10,000 individuals sustain serious injuries per month in auto collisions in Arizona. Those who suffer injuries in car wrecks often have to stay in the hospital for days, weeks, or longer in order to recover fully. Being involved in a severe traffic accident can be very difficult and traumatizing. Injured victims may suffer from anxiety, depression, and even PTSD on top of painful and debilitating injuries. The medical care required to make a full recovery from a severe auto collision can be extensive, exhausting, and extremely expensive. Crash victims often find themselves in a tough spot after their accidents.

Luckily, depending on the circumstances of an accident, an injured victim may have legal options available to them to help them move forward. Statistically speaking, driver negligence causes the majority of car wrecks reported in the United States and throughout the state of Arizona. If you or someone you love were hurt in an auto collision in Arizona, it is likely that the crash was the result of a negligent driver’s actions. If you believe this is the case for you, you need to contact a car crash lawyer as soon as possible.

A car accident attorney can help you get the money you need to pay for the damages you face in relation to your or your loved one’s accident. You may be suffering from severe injuries that render you unable to work and make a living or even simply move around the way you used to. On top of that, the emotional/mental consequences you may be dealing with could seem even more debilitating than your physical injuries. This is especially true if you have lost a loved one in an accident. A wrongful death attorney can help you file a wrongful death claim so you can get financial compensation for funeral costs and more.

Our personal injury lawyers at the law offices of Samuel P. Moeller, PLLC, are here to help you recover after your life has been derailed by driver negligence. Even if you or your loved one were partially at fault, you may still be eligible for compensation.

Phoenix, AZ – Karina Luna, 21, Killed in Car Crash on Ralson Rd near Fanner Dr

Phoenix, AZ (November 29, 2022) – On Sunday evening, November 27, a fatal accident took the life of one woman in Pinal County. Sheriff’s Office deputies reported that an impaired driver caused the multi-vehicle accident that happened in the Ak-Chin Indian Community. 

At approximately 7:30 p.m., deputies responded to the three-car collision near Ralson Road and Fanner Drive. Reports show that 19-year-old Chelsea Edwards was traveling south in a Chrysler 300 on Ralston Road when she rear-ended a Ford F-150. The force of the impact pushed the Ford into oncoming traffic, where it slammed into a Dodge Ram headed north. 

The Ford’s driver, identified as Karina Luna, 21, was ejected from the truck. She lost her life at the scene, sources said. 

First responders who were called to the scene rescued a man who ended up trapped inside his vehicle with a head injury due to the collision. Fire Personnel in Ak-Chin reported that the woman in the Chrysler 300 was possibly intoxicated. 

Deputies reported that Edwards smelled of alcohol and had bloodshot, watery eyes. She reported traveling about 80 miles per hour when she rear-ended the Ford F-150. The speed limit in the area was 45 mph. 

We would like to offer our sincere condolences to the family of Karina Luna. We hope for the full recovery of the injured victim.

DUI Accidents in Arizona

In Arizona, alcohol-related collisions accounted for almost 4% of all accidents and an alarming 31% of all fatal accidents in 2017. If you or a loved one become involved in a car crash caused by an intoxicated driver, you possess the right to file a personal injury or wrongful death claim. The claim is different from the criminal case that will most likely be pursued by a prosecutor in Arizona against the drunk or high driver. 

Intoxicated driving causes hundreds of car crashes in Arizona each year. Some of these crashes end up taking the lives of the people involved. Filing a claim for compensation is your legal right if you or a loved one of yours has sustained injuries in a negligently caused accident. Driver intoxication is one of the most dangerous forms of driver negligence that exists today. Some statistics concerning drunk driving in the United States are: 

  • One in three Americans will become involved in a drunk driving crash
  • In the US, someone sustains injuries due to the actions of a drunk driver every minute
  • Every 50 minutes, someone loses their life due to the actions of a drunk driver
  • The average individual has engaged in drunk driving about 80 times before they are caught by police

When you retain a lawyer from the law offices of Samuel P. Moeller, PLLC, to represent you, we will put forth a comprehensive legal effort to determine the cause of the crash and the full extent of the damages you have endured. 

We will work backward in order to outline the movements of the responsible driver and identity an/yall restaurants, bars, and other establishments they may have visited before the incident occurred.
