PHOENIX — One person is dead and another is hurt after a crash Saturday morning near 47th Avenue and Indian School Road.

Phoenix police say it happened around 3 a.m.

One vehicle is believed to have been making a westbound turn onto Indian School Road when the light was red. That was when a second vehicle driving eastbound on Indian School Road and collided with the vehicle.

When officers got to the scene, they attempted to help a woman that was trapped in her vehicle.

That woman, identified as 27-year-old Irene Lujan, was later pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the second vehicle, only identified as a man, was taken to the hospital with injuries that are considered non-life-threatening.

The man was evaluated for impairment, but investigators did not see any sign of intoxication.

No arrest was made in this crash.
