PHOENIX — Two teenagers are in the hospital after a crash involving two vehicles Friday afternoon in Phoenix.
At around 1 p.m. Friday, Phoenix fire officials say a crash between a car and an SUV happened at the intersection of 51st Avenue and Bell Road.
Officials say both teens injured were in the car that was involved. One teenage female was taken to a hospital in extremely critical condition while a teenage male was transported in stable condition.
Police said Saturday that the girl, who was identified as 17-year-old Beyonce Vasquez, later died of her injuries at the hospital.
An online fundraiser has been set up to help pay for Vasquez's funeral expenses.
Fire officials originally said a school bus at the scene was also involved in the crash but have since clarified that it was not involved.
Police believe the car with the two teens was turning left onto Bell Road when it was struck by an SUV. The force of the impact took the vehicles into a man in a wheelchair on the sidewalk and also into a school bus.
The driver of the school bus and the man in the wheelchair were not hurt.
The Phoenix Police Department is investigating the crash.
