GOODYEAR, AZ — A man is in critical condition and an infant has died after a crash Sunday afternoon in the West Valley.

Goodyear Fire officials say they and Arizona Fire and Medical Authorities crews were called to a single-vehicle accident on Perryville Road between Van Buren Street and Yuma Road.

When firefighters arrived, they found a car that had hit a power pole.

Officials say two people, a 28-year-old man and an infant, were ejected from the vehicle.

The man was taken to the hospital in critical condition. Officials say the infant died at the scene.

Police say it appears no seat belts were worn at the time of the crash, and no child safety seat was found in the vehicle.

Perryville Road was temporarily closed between Van Buren Street and Yuma Road, but it has since reopened.

Maricopa County Sheriff's Office continues to investigate the crash.
