A woman is dead and 3 others are hospitalized with serious injuries following a multiple-vehicle collision in west Phoenix Sunday evening, Jan 7th. The Phoenix Fire Department was summoned to respond to a report of a serious-injury crash involving 4 vehicles near the intersection of 51st Avenue and McDowell Road. According to a preliminary investigation, authorities said a Volkswagen Jetta was traveling westbound on McDowell Road approaching 51st Avenue when the driver for an unknown reason lost control of the vehicle. The Jetta then sideswiped another vehicle traveling westbound that spun into the intersection due to the initial impact and came to rest facing the southbound on 51st Avenue.
That vehicle was struck on its passenger side by another vehicle traveling eastbound on McDowell Road. The force of the collision damaged a 4th vehicle. 2 women and a man suffered serious injuries from the crash and were transported to a nearby hospital in serious condition. 3 others were treated at the scene for minor injuries suffered during the collision. A female passenger in 1 of the vehicles had to be extricated from the vehicle and suffer very serious injuries. She was taken to a nearby hospital and was listed in critical condition. She later succumbed to her injuries and was pronounced dead by medical staff. The woman was later identified as 24-year old Daisy Pacheco of Phoenix. The crash is under investigation, but police said they do not suspect impairment on the part of the man driving the Jetta.
