Phoenix Police detectives are investigating an early evening collision that resulted in a woman’s death.
According to the Phoenix Police Department, on March 7, 2024, around 5:00 p.m., officers responded to the area of 1000 East Telegraph Pass Road on South Mountain regarding a collision where a vehicle rolled over. When officers arrived, they located two injured juvenile children. They were both transported to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. A female, 31-year-old Helena River, was also located having suffered serious injuries. She did not survive these injuries and was pronounced deceased on scene. Only one vehicle was involved in this collision.
