A collision Monday afternoon killed a 44-year-old man and sent three people to a hospital, Phoenix police said.

The crash occurred about 3:20 p.m. Oct. 28 near 40^th and Cholla streets.

John McLaughlin died at the scene and two men and a boy were taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to a Phoenix Police Department release.

Preliminary information from detectives suggests the truck driven by McLaughlin was heading north on 40^th Street when, for unknown reasons, it veered into oncoming southbound lanes and ran a red light at Cholla Street. 

Just after crossing Cholla Street, the truck collided with a small SUV, which was traveling south and was occupied by a man and the boy, police said.

The truck continued north until it hit a Waste Management truck, occupied by a man, before it stopped.

After being hit by the truck, the smaller SUV went off road and struck a wall, police said.

An investigation continues.
