Officials say three cars were involved in the crash and one person was pronounced dead.

According to police, a Lexus was being driven southbound on 64th Street when the driver failed to stop for the red light at Cactus and hit a box truck. Both vehicles then collided with a Civic that was waiting in a turn lane.

Police say the driver of the Lexus was pronounced deceased at the scene. Alcohol and speed appear to be a factor in the crash, according to police.

The other two drivers involved suffered minor injuries.
