PHOENIX — One man has died and another is fighting for his life in a Valley hospital after a serious accident in Phoenix, authorities say.
Phoenix police said the crash happened near the intersection of 23rd Avenue and Happy Valley Road around 6:30 p.m. on Sunday. That intersection is east of Interstate 17 and the Happy Valley Towne Center.
Police said the two men driving cars that collided both had serious injuries. One of them, 23-year-old Leo Adolphus Kelly, died at the scene of the crash.
The other driver, who was extracted from his car, was taken to a nearby trauma hospital in critical condition, according to the Phoenix Fire Department.
Phoenix fire added that another person in a third car was evaluated for injuries, but refused to be taken to the hospital to be checked out.
A Phoenix City Bus was also hit by the two vehicles involved in the crash, but the bus was just parked nearby and no one was onboard, Phoenix police said.
