Phoenix, AZ (October 16, 2018) – Two separate car crashes in the Phoenix area, involving a City of Phoenix vehicle and a Waste Management garbage truck, left one person dead and multiple injured Tuesday morning, October 16th, Chandler police said.
The first crash occurred at around 5 a.m. at the intersection of Queen Creek and Price roads when a garbage truck collided with a sedan, causing extensive damage when it smashed into the vehicle. The unidentified driver of the sedan sustained serious injuries and was transported to a local hospital, but later died. Chandler police closed the intersection for several hours, disclosing few details pending investigation.
The second crash occurred near 63rd Avenue and Indian School Road, where a pickup truck struck a city-owned vehicle.
