When traveling, it is exceedingly important to be wary of surroundings: adhere to speed limits and traffic signs. No matter how safe a vehicle itself may be, if care is not taken to avoid hazards on the road, an accident may occur.

Firefighters from both Phoenix and Tempe were called to a crash involving an armored vehicle along State Routes 143 and  202 on Monday. One person was reported to have been killed in the accident.
