Officials identified the victim as Kristina Lara, while three other children involved in the crash were taken to a hospital for further evaluation.
The crash that occurred just before 1:30 p.m. at the intersection of 19th Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road was characterized by extensive traffic delays and emergency response activities. Lara was immediately rushed to the hospital in critical condition, but succumbed to her injuries as medical efforts were futile. Officials report that the infant involved in the crash is receiving close medical care after suffering a critical injury.
The Phoenix police confirmed that three other children were taken to the hospital for precautionary purposes. Nothing else is known about what led to the collision, and authorities continue to investigate factors that may have contributed to this tragic event.
