PHOENIX — A woman has died and two adults are injured after a crash in west Phoenix Thursday morning.

Phoenix fire officials say the crash took place near 75th Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road around 8 a.m.

When first responders arrived, they found two vehicles involved in a crash, with one person needing to be extracted from the vehicle.

Three people, a male driver, a female driver and a female passenger, were all taken to the hospital in "extremely critical condition." Phoenix PD says the passenger, identified as 27-year-old Edna Villa, died at the hospital.

A preliminary investigation leads detectives to believe the vehicle that Villa was a passenger in made a left turn in front of the other vehicle involved.

Impairment is not believed to be a factor in the crash.

An investigation remains ongoing.
