PHOENIX — One person is dead after a fiery crash in north Phoenix early Friday morning.

Emergency crews were called to the area of 27th Street and Greenway Road around 5 a.m. for reports of a crash.

The crash reportedly led to a fire, but Phoenix Fire personnel were able to extinguish the flames before they extended to a nearby commercial building.

One person was reportedly found dead in a vehicle after crews extinguished the fire.

That man was identified Saturday as 20-year-old Christian Draganov.

Phoenix police say two other men were taken to a hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.

Officials say the driver of the car lost control and drove onto a private property, hitting five parked cars.

It is currently unknown what caused the driver to lose control.
