A 28-year-old man died Tuesday morning at the scene of a collision with light rail in the 4100 block of North Central Avenue, police said.

Mario Dircio-Castrejon was found by Phoenix officers about 5:05 a.m. Dec 30. after they responded to the collision near Central Avenue and Indian School Road.

The crash involved a vehicle and light rail, police said.

"The light rail involved was occupied by several passengers. In total, three of these passengers, to include the light rail operator, were transported to a nearby hospital for precautionary reasons," a Phoenix Police Department release stated.
