PHOENIX — One person is dead and four others were injured after a two-vehicle crash in Laveen Saturday night.
When officers arrived at the scene at about 9:30 p.m., they found a total of two vehicles, one of which crashed into a light pole and caused power lines to fall on the roadway.
A passenger in a car that rolled over, 19-year-old Lesli Vega Bolanos, died at the scene.
Two other men in the vehicle were taken to the hospital, one with life-threatening injuries.
The driver and passenger from the other vehicle were taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
SRP reported that approximately 7,200 customers were without power in the area at the time due to the crash.
Police said Sunday they learned from witnesses that the two vehicles were racing westbound on Southern Avenue just before the crash. A witness believed they were traveling in excess of 80 miles per hour.
The crash remains under investigation.
The family of Bolanos has started a GoFundMe account to help with expenses.
