4 teenagers are hospitalized in serious condition and a 27-year old woman was rushed to the hospital following a 2-vehicle collision at a west Phoenix intersection Wednesday morning, Oct. 25th. The incident occurred shortly after 7:30 a.m. when Phoenix Fire Department responded to a report of a collision between a compact car and an SUV near the intersection of 67th Avenue and Thomas. According to officials, 3 boys aged 15 to 17-years old and a 16-year old girl were the occupants inside the compact car that police believe pulled in front of the SUV when the accident occurred.
The SUV was carrying the 27-year old woman and her 3 children at the time of the accident. The 27-year old woman was transported by ambulance to the hospital in stable condition and her 3 children were uninjured.
Joan Salguerio, who was stopped at the intersection, rushed to help the injured teens after witnessing the crash. "It's already dried out," Salguerio said about the blood stains on his shirt. "But that's the blood from one of the teenagers we were pulling out." Salguerio said he was among 15 people who tried to help the victims. "It was smashed so bad that the girl that was in the passenger seat was lying flat with the person that was sitting behind her," Salguerio said. "And, the boy, he was laying on top of her."
All 4 teenagers are believed to be students at Trevor Brown High School. The Phoenix Union High School District explained the victims as being actively involved with school activities. "They're student government; cheerleaders," District spokesperson Craig Pletenik explained. "Our principal said 'They're really the face of Trevor Browne High School.' Good kids — involved and positive role models."
