PEORIA, AZ — A woman has died from her injuries two weeks after a serious crash in Peoria.
Peoria police say around 8:45 p.m. on Sunday, May 11, officers were called to a crash with injuries at the intersection of 107th and Northern avenues.
When first responders arrived, they found that two vehicles had crashed.
The driver and passenger in the first car were taken to the hospital that night with serious injuries. The second driver was transported with minor injuries.
On May 25, police were informed that the passenger in the first car had died of her injuries.
The passenger has been identified as Abrielle Lopez from Litchfield Park.
The others hurt in the crash have been released from the hospital.
The crash remains under investigation, and police say impairment and speed are being investigated as factors.
Hearing about all the plans Brian and his girlfriend Abrielle had only added to the grief for the family.
Brian Salinas, Brian’s dad, says his son and Abrielle have known each other since middle school, then reconnected, fell in love, and had plans to get engaged next month.
The two just moved in together at a townhome in Peoria.
Abrielle was working toward being a registered nurse, and Brian just got a new construction job.
Peoria Police say impairment and speed are believed to be factors in the crash.
Abrielle fought for her life for two weeks before she died from her injuries on Sunday.
She’s described as a compassionate, empathetic, and a hard-working mother.
She leaves behind a 3-year-old daughter.
"Now to think she’s going to grow up without a mom, because of one person’s bad decision, it’s just no fair to her,” said Salinas.
Peoria police tell ABC15 they’re still waiting on a toxicology report to determine if an arrest will be made.
The unexpected funeral for Abrielle led the family asking for support through a GoFundMe page.
