18, 19 year old killed in Glendale car crash identified
Posted
Glendale police on Monday identified 19-year-old Joseph Daniel Saiz and 18-year-old Elana Keltner Crawford, who were both killed in a fatal collision over the weekend.
On Saturday, Oct. 30, just after 8:30 p.m., Glendale Police responded to a collision near the 7000 block of W. Bell Road involving three vehicles. The initial investigation shows Saiz was driving a Ford Mustang eastbound on Bell Road with passenger Crawford in the car. Witnesses reported Saiz was driving at a high rate of speed without headlights on, according to police.
A Honda Civic with one occupant was traveling westbound on Bell Road and turned left at Grandview Road hitting the back of the Mustang, police say. That collision caused the Mustang to hit the median where it collided into two trees. After striking the trees, it continued onto the westbound lane where it collided with a Lexus ES300 occupied by one person.
Investigators say Saiz was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected from the vehicle. He died on scene. Crawford was transported to a local hospital where she was later pronounced dead. The driver of the Lexus was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The driver of the civic was not injured.
