Speeding, impairment suspected in fatal Tempe crash

Posted

A two-vehicle collision early Saturday morning at Southern Avenue and 48th Street killed one driver an injured another, Tempe police said.

“It is suspected that impairment and high speeds were factors in the collision,” police stated in a release.

The crash occurred about 12:25 a.m. April 13 when a vehicle traveling east on Southern Avenue ran a red light and collided with another vehicle heading south on 48th Street with a green light, police said.

Tempe police officers responded, and both drivers were taken to a hospital.

The driver of the vehicle that was hit sustained minor injuries, but the driver who ran the red light died shortly after reaching the hospital, according to the release.

An investigation is continuing.
