Police identify 4 killed in crash involving racing stolen car in north Phoenix

PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) — Phoenix police say they have identified the four people killed in a fiery crash involving a stolen car that was racing late last month. Police say the unidentified driver of the stolen car was speeding on 43rd Avenue just before 2 a.m. on July 22 when he collided with a driver trying to make a left onto Thunderbird Road. That car caught fire, and all three people inside died. The driver of that car, 28-year-old Terry Hill, was previously identified by his family.

Police said on Tuesday, he was a Lyft driver planning to drop off two passengers, 37-year-old Sara Anne Loustaunau and 39-year-old Brittish Conception Peña. All six people in their late teens or early 20s in the stolen car were hospitalized. Police said 19-year-old Galexy Saunders died at the hospital.

Police are now asking for the public’s help finding a dark-colored sedan they say was racing the stolen car right before the deadly crash. No specific details were released, although a six-second clip from a security camera shows the possible car involved.
