GLENDALE, AZ - One man has died and another is in critical condition after a rollover accident in north Glendale.
Glendale police say the accident involved a pickup truck with three men inside.
Police spokeswoman Tracey Breeden said the 23-year-old driver struck a median and lost control of the vehicle near 83rd Avenue and Bell Road around midnight.
The passengers were ejected from the vehicle and one, a 52-year-old man, died from his injuries after being air-lifted to a Valley hospital.
The second passenger, a 32-year-old, sustained life-threatening injuries and is in critical condition.
Breeden said the passengers were not wearing seatbelts.
Detectives are investigating, and Breeden said speed and alcohol may have been factors in the accident.
