According to police, the crash happened at around 6:15 p.m. on Oct. 3 near 69th Avenue and Thomas Road. When officers got to the scene, they found multiple people hurt and three vehicles involved, including one that had rolled over.

The three men driving the cars were all hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. Bibiana Mendoza, a 20-year-old woman who was a passenger in one of the vehicles, died at the scene.
