The Crash Report
Because this was an Interstate-17 crash, the Arizona Department of Public Safety investigated it — not Phoenix PD — and prepared a crash report. Under Arizona law (A.R.S. § 28-667), crash reports and the information in them are released only to the people involved, their attorneys, and their insurers, and recipients may not release them to the public. For that reason the report and its contents are not reproduced on this page.
