PHOENIX — A woman is dead and another woman is injured following a crash in central Phoenix involving a light rail and a car, police said.
Phoenix police officers responded to the area of Washington Street and Interstate 10 late Saturday evening for a crash involving the light rail. When officers got to the scene, they found two women in the car that was involved in the crash. Both were taken to the hospital with serious injuries, police said.
The driver of the car, later identified as 76-year-old Sandra Barbre, was pronounced dead at the hospital. The passenger is still at the hospital and is listed as being in "critical condition," police said.
