Word on the streets of Phoenix is buzzing about the recent crashes that occurred in both Phoenix and Tempe. On March 17th, multiple people were hospitalized following separate incidents. In West Phoenix, a three-car collision at 51st Avenue and Roosevelt left two individuals injured, though they're expected to recover. Meanwhile, in Tempe, two pedestrians were seriously hurt in a hit-and-run near Rural Road and University. The suspected driver was later apprehended. As we navigate our city streets, let's remember to stay vigilant and look out for one another. Shifting gears to a story of resilience and community support, the San Carlos Apache Tribe has announced a $75,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of those responsible for the death of Emily Pike.
