PHOENIX — Two people are dead and two others are hurt after a head-on crash in west Phoenix Sunday morning.
Phoenix police say it happened just after 1:45 a.m. near 75th Avenue and Indian School Road.
Video from the scene showed two vehicles involved, both with heavy damage.
Police believe a 28-year-old was driving eastbound on Indian School Road when he attempted to change lanes to avoid a car driving slower than he was. He then oversteered and crossed over into westbound lanes where he crashed head-on with another vehicle.
Two men in the second car, identified as 35-year-old Erick Segura and 37-year-old Alonso Franco, died at the scene. A 16-year-old boy was also in the second car and was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police say the 28-year-old driver of the first car was significantly injured. After he was released from the hospital, Francisco Heredia-Mendivil was booked into jail.
Franco's family created an online fundraiser to help with expenses.
The crash remains under investigation.
