Fatal Hit-and-Run Crash on Interstate 19 Close to Tubac
June 2, 2021
TUBAC, AZ – One man was killed and two others were seriously injured after a hit-and-run collision on I-19 last Friday.
According to Nogales International, the accident took place just after 9 p.m., as three individuals were changing the tire of a passenger van in the southbound lanes of the interstate.
A Ford SUV sideswiped the van while the men were working on the tire. One of the men was thrown into the roadway, where he was fatally struck by a second vehicle. He has since been identified as 19-year-old Rodolfo Valenzuela.
The other two men were rushed to a Tucson hospital for treatment.
The Ford left the scene before authorities arrived. No arrests have been made in connection to the fatal wreck at this time.

I just wanted to thank Phillips law Group and Vanessa Rodriguez for all the help that she did for my daughter’s case. She was involved in her first accident and she needed the help to deal with these adjusters. Thank you again.

Two family members were in a bad wreck a couple of years ago, and as a result called Phillips Law to represent them. Montana Thompson was the attorney assigned to the case with the help of Nemo Farr as legal assistant. Mr. Thompson litigated a very generous settlement for both my stepdaughter and her son. Because my grandson is a minor, I decided to act as conservator for him to ensure the settlement was safe and secure. Montana helped with that process, but it was Nemo who went way above and beyond the call in finding a financial institution to use for the restricted account. There were some glitches in that process but Nemo helped navigate them with a calm expertise which belies his age. I would consider them both great representatives of the level of commitment to their clients and assets to their firm.

Jeffrey Phillips is truly a brilliant attorney and businessman. I would not hesitate for a moment to contact him if I needed a personal injury attorney in Arizona, you would be fortunate to have him and his team. If you have a car accident, slip and fall in a store, or get punched in the face, call Phillips.
