PEORIA, AZ — Two people are dead and four others are hurt after a car crashed into a home in Peoria.
Just after midnight on Sunday, Peoria police were called to the area of Vistancia Boulevard and Lone Mountain Parkway for a report of a car crashing into a house.
During a preliminary investigation, Peoria police believe the driver of a 2018 black Infiniti Q60 was traveling westbound on Garambullo Drive and continued through 126th Avenue. After failing to stop at a posted stop sign and continuing through the intersection, the Infiniti crashed into a block wall at the residence.
Nobody inside the home was injured.
Peoria PD says there were six people inside the car. Five of them were seriously injured and taken to a hospital.
One of the occupants died at the scene. He has been identified as 20-year-old Shane Johnson of Tempe.
A second occupant later died at the hospital. He has been identified as 19-year-old Aiden Ellis of Peoria.
The other four occupants remain hospitalized, with two of them having life-threatening injuries, police say.
ABC15 is asking detectives what may have caused the driver to lose control and if speed or impairment were a factor.
An investigation remains ongoing.
