PHOENIX — One woman is dead and three others are injured after a crash early Sunday morning in central Phoenix

According to the Phoenix Police Department, officers were called to the area near 7th Avenue and Thomas Road around 4:30 a.m. for reports of a three-car crash.

When they arrived, they found multiple vehicles with significant damage, including one that had rolled over.

Phoenix Fire crews also responded and worked to extricate occupants from the overturned vehicle.

A woman was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

Police identified the woman Sunday afternoon as 21-year-old Trinity Brewer.

The impact of the first crash took them into a third vehicle heading southbound on 7th Avenue.

The man was taken to the hospital with serious injuries. Police believe he was showing signs of impairment.

Charges are pending the outcome of the investigation, which remains ongoing.
