Woman dead, 2 others hurt in west Phoenix crash
PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) — A woman is dead, and two others are hurt after a crash in west Phoenix on Thursday morning. The collision happened shortly after 8 a.m. on Lower Buckeye Road near 79th Avenue. Police later said it appeared a driver made a left turn in front of another driver. Both drivers were taken to the hospital and are expected to survive. The passenger in the left-turning car, 27-year-old Edna Villa, was taken to the hospital, where she later died.
Police said it’s unclear who was at fault, and detectives will do a crash reconstruction to get more information. Impairment doesn’t appear to be a factor, investigators said. Lower Buckeye Road was closed in both directions through the morning as detectives investigated the crash.
