Several people were badly hurt after a collision in south Phoenix on the afternoon of Sunday, Nov. 10. It happened near 51st Avenue and Baseline Road. A woman and two men were taken to the hospital in critical condition.
PHOENIX - A pregnant woman who was involved in a Phoenix car crash lost her unborn baby, the police department said.
The crash happened near 51st Avenue and Baseline Road around 2:45 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 10.
"When officers arrived, they found four vehicles involved in a collision. The fire department responded and transported three people to the hospital, including a pregnant female," police said.
The victims are expected to survive, but sadly the pregnant woman's baby died.
"Preliminary information indicates a vehicle was heading southbound on 51st Avenue when it failed to stop for a red light at Baseline Road and rear-ended an SUV stopped at the light. Due to the collision, the SUV was pushed forward and caused two other cars to be rear-ended. The pregnant woman was a passenger in that initial vehicle that failed to stop at the light," Phoenix Police said.
Speed is likely a factor, police added.
"The investigation remains active as detectives continue to process the evidence. A charging decision will be made at the conclusion of the investigation," the department said.
