West Phoenix Collision Claims Life of 14-Year-Old

Phoenix police responded at about 3:45 p.m. on November 11 to a crash involving two pedestrians near 107th Avenue and Indian School Road. An 11-year-old and a 14-year-old had been hit by a southbound 2012 Kia Soul as they entered the roadway.

Both children were taken to a hospital. The 14-year-old suffered critical injuries and passed away the next day. The 11-year-old was seriously injured, but the injuries were not considered life-threatening.

Investigators said the children entered the roadway at a crosswalk without markings, where the car was traveling. The motorist remained at the location and assisted police. A specialist trained to identify drug impairment assessed the driver, and police observed no signs of impairment.
