Jose Gonzales Killed, Others Injured in Four-Car Accident

Phoenix, Arizona—A four-car accident on the Phoenix/Tempe border claimed one life and injured several others on Wednesday afternoon. 

Phoenix Police Department accident investigators report that a car turning left from a business collided with another car that was eastbound on Southern Avenue.  The impact caused one of the first two cars to hit two additional cars that were westbound on Southern near 48th Street.

Jose Gonzales, age 20, was in one of the westbound cars.  Mr. Gonzales suffered critical injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital where he later died.

Other people were seriously injured, but none was life-threatening.

Our sympathies are with the family and friends of Jose Gonzales over this tragic loss.  We wish speedy and complete recoveries for those who were injured.
