VIDEO: Former Phoenix Councilman Daniel Valenzuela, who is running for mayor, stopped to render aid at a serious crash involving a pedestrian Monday night, police said. Valenzuela also confirmed to The Arizona Republic he was driving nearby when a man was struck and seriously injured. The accident happened about 6:45 p.m., near 33rd and Northern Avenues in Phoenix, police Sgt. Tommy Thompson said. The man was crossing Northern midblock when he was struck by a 1993 Chevrolet pickup truck driven westbound by a 77-year-old woman, Thompson said. The man landed on the eastbound side of the street, near another pickup truck driven by Valenzuela, police said. Valenzuela, who also is a Glendale firefighter, said he immediately stopped his vehicle to go render first aid as he called 911.
