PHOENIX — Phoenix police are investigating a deadly crash involving a pedestrian at a park.

The collision happened just before 8 a.m. Wednesday at Cesar Chavez Park, near 35th Avenue and Baseline Road.

When police arrived, they located a woman with serious injuries. She was taken to a hospital where she later died.

Video from the scene showed a pickup truck stopped in the grass with serious damage.

The driver of the truck, only identified as a man, was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

According to police, the driver lost control of the truck, causing it to leave the roadway and strike a tree. The truck rolled over and hit a pedestrian in the park.

Officials say no impairment is involved, but believe speed may be a contributing factor.

The investigation remains ongoing.
