PHOENIX — One person is dead after a crash involving a semi-truck near 12th Street and Indian School Road.

Phoenix Fire crews were called to the area around 1 p.m. Wednesday for reports of a crash involving several vehicles, including a semi-truck.

Officials say a man involved in the crash was "beyond resuscitative efforts" and was pronounced dead at the scene. Police have identified him as 57-year-old Jimmy Orama.

No other injuries were reported.

Investigators learned the driver of the semi-truck was traveling west on Indian School and failed to stop and crashed into several vehicles stopped at a red light.

Police say Orama's car was the second vehicle struck before a chain reaction that led to six vehicles being damaged.

The semi-truck driver was evaluated and no signs of impairment were noted.

An investigation remains ongoing.
