PHOENIX — A car crash that left two people with serious injuries might have been caused by Saturday's monsoon storm led power outages, officials said.
Around 1:30 a.m., a Nissan Frontier collided with a Nissan Altima at the intersection of 7th Avenue and Broadway Road.
Detectives said a power outage caused by the storm led to the intersection being dark in all directions at the time of the crash.
A man driving the Altima was treated for serious injuries and his passenger, a woman, was treated for life threatening injuries.
The driver of the Frontier had minor injuries and did not need to be treated while his female passenger was taken to the hospital.
Officials said impairment was not a factor in the crash.
