PHOENIX — Police are investigating a deadly crash in downtown Phoenix overnight.

Officers were called to 7th Avenue and Grant Street late Wednesday night to investigate a crash involving a car and a truck.

The truck involved rolled during the collision, ejecting a woman in the passenger seat. She was taken to a hospital where she died from her injuries. She was later identified by police as 32-year-old Katherine Lee Adkins.

Investigators say the truck, being driven by a man with Adkins as the passenger, was southbound on 7th Avenue when it was struck by a woman driving a sedan, also traveling southbound. The collision caused the truck to roll over.

The man who was driving the truck ran from the scene and has not been found, police said.

The second vehicle reportedly left the scene but was located nearby. Police say that driver was located with the vehicle and is suspected of driving impaired.

An investigation remains underway.
