PHOENIX - A man is dead and a woman is in the hospital after a fiery crash in Phoenix Friday night.

The crash happened near 33rd Avenue and Bethany Home Road just before 9 p.m. on Aug. 18, says Phoenix Police Sgt. Phil Krynsky.

After firefighters extinguished the car's flames, they learned that 35-year-old Rolando Osuna Rubio died from his injuries.

The other driver was taken to the hospital and is expected to be OK.

"Detectives responded to investigate the collision and learned Osuna Rubio’s vehicle was heading westbound on Bethany Home Road when the vehicle crossed the center lane and into oncoming traffic. His vehicle collided with a vehicle heading eastbound on Bethany Home Road," Krynsky said.
