GLENDALE, AZ — Police say two people were killed in a high-speed crash near Apollo High School in Glendale early Tuesday morning.
The crash occurred after 4 a.m. near 47th and Northern avenues.
Police say the 34-year-old woman driving one of the cars ran a red light, hitting another car that was traveling on Northern Avenue.
The vehicle that ran the red light was reportedly driving about 80 miles per hour at the time of the crash in an area where the speed limit is 25 miles per hour.
Both the driver and her 32-year-old passenger died from their injuries.
One person in the vehicle that was hit was also hurt, but the injuries are said to be minor.
One of the vehicles came to a stop on the school's property after going through a fence.
Northern Avenue was shut down between 43rd and 51st avenues for several hours due to the investigation and clean-up.
Parents tell ABC15 they are using this as a wake-up call to be extra cautious while driving on the road.
“The only thing you can do is use caution. You can’t control what other people are doing. Even when you’re cautious, sometimes you’re a victim,” said Kyle Lugenbeal, whose children attend Apollo High School.
