Police Investigating Fatal Collision in Phoenix that Left One Woman Dead and Two Injured

PHOENIX — Authorities are currently investigating a tragic collision that occurred in Phoenix on Wednesday night, resulting in the death of a woman and leaving two others hospitalized. The incident took place near the intersection of 38th Street and Shea Boulevard at approximately 8:45 p.m.

Upon receiving the emergency call, officers promptly arrived at the scene and discovered a gray Honda and a gray Ford involved in the collision. Firefighters swiftly arrived and provided immediate medical assistance to a man and a woman who were trapped inside the Ford.

Tragically, officers also found an unresponsive woman inside the Honda, later identified as Sonya Martinez, a 50-year-old resident of Phoenix. Unfortunately, despite the efforts of the fire personnel, Martinez was pronounced dead at the scene.

During the course of their investigation, the police discovered that there was another collision that had occurred just moments before this fatal accident.
