Car Accident Kills Parents, 4-Year-Old Child Survives

Phoenix, Arizona—A car accident took the lives of a four-year-old girl’s parents in a collision near 32nd Street and Broadway Road early Sunday morning at about 4:00 a.m. Phoenix Police accident investigators report that a Toyota Scion southbound on 32nd Street slammed into a Kia Optima that was exiting eastbound I-10.  

The man and woman inside the Kia Optima died at the scene.  Phoenix Fire Department responders said that their 4-year-old daughter survived the crash.  She and the occupants of the Toyota Scion suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were transported to a nearby hospital for treatment.
