Ford Hatchett joined the ABC15 team as a multimedia journalist in January of 2023.
From 2014 to 2021 Phoenix counted 144 deaths and nearly 11,000 as a result of red light running, according to data presented Wednesday. It's a problem that's continued. Councilwoman Debra Stark recounted a crash involving a motorcycle earlier this year.
Red light cameras first arrived in Phoenix in 2001 and were installed at 12 locations before the city let the camera company's contract expire in 2019. City data shows intersections with the cameras saw a nearly 31% reduction in red light crashes - but it didn’t help the overall numbers. “There aren't as many as they were in the past so to say they're stretched thin is an understatement,” said Assistant Police Chief Sean Kennedy.
