On Friday, 14 people suffered minor injuries following simultaneous wrecks involving seven vehicles in Sierra Vista.
As per the initial information, officers actively responded to the area of Charleston Road at approximately 3 p.m. after getting reports of a multi-vehicle wreck. Authorities initially responded after getting reports of a head-on crash near the DMV and found seven vehicles involved in multiple collisions, closing both lanes of Charleston Road.
A helicopter was requested to be on standby, but was later canceled. 14 people received minor injuries as a result of the accidents, but no one was taken to the hospital. According to the reports, the first crash involved a Honda Civic that was hit by a Honda minivan from behind and both cars pulled over off road.
The second crash happened when a red Ford Taurus crashed into another vehicle, followed by a white Kia SUV hitting the rear of a green Toyota Camry. The impact of the collision sent the Camry into oncoming traffic, where it was struck by a Chevy Traverse traveling east. Officers confirmed two citations for failure to control speed to avoid a crash. No other details are available.
An investigation is ongoing.
