Seven people injured near 2800 N PULASKI RD in Avondale

A turning collision occurred on Saturday night, May 9, 2026 at 10:27 PM in Avondale. 7 people reportedly suffered non-incapacitating injuries.

The crash occurred near 2800 N PULASKI RD, at a four-way intersection. The posted speed limit was 30 mph. There was a traffic light. It was dark but with streetlights, the weather was clear, and the roadway was dry. The police report attributed the cause of the crash to failing to yield right of way; and, secondarily, to failing to reduce speed to avoid a crash.

There were two motor vehicles involved in the crash:

  • A 2014 Hyundai Elantra was heading south while turning left. The police report described the driver, a 17-year-old girl, as failing to yield. Her airbag deployed from the front; she reportedly suffered non-incapacitating injuries. A 44-year-old male passenger reportedly suffered non-incapacitating injuries; his airbag deployed from the front. A 16-year-old female passenger reportedly suffered non-incapacitating injuries; her airbag deployed from the front. An 18-year-old female passenger reportedly suffered non-incapacitating injuries; her airbag deployed from the front. One of her passengers reportedly suffered non-incapacitating injuries.
  • A 2022 Volkswagen was heading east and was hit in the front. The driver, a 61-year-old man, reportedly suffered non-incapacitating injuries; his airbag deployed from the front. A 57-year-old female passenger reportedly suffered non-incapacitating injuries; her airbag deployed from the front.
