Woman killed in 4-car crash in Phoenix, police say

PHOENIX - A woman was killed in a four-car crash in Phoenix Monday night, the police department said.

The crash happened near 45th Avenue and Thomas Road around 7:05 p.m. on Oct. 24.

Witnesses told Phoenix Police that a silver car was turning left onto westbound Thomas Road when it crashed into a white pickup truck that was heading eastbound. The truck was then pushed into oncoming traffic and crashed into a gold SUV, which sideswiped another SUV.

The driver of the silver car was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. A passenger in the same car, identified only as an adult woman, was pronounced dead at the scene. No other serious injuries were reported.

Investigators say the driver of the silver car showed signs of intoxication and a blood sample was collected.

"A charging decision will be made once the investigation is complete," police said. "Detectives are working to identify the woman who died on scene."
