A woman and a 2-month-old child died in a road accident; 3 more children were sent to the hospital

PHOENIX (KPHO/Gray News ) – A woman and an infant were killed in a crash at a major intersection in Phoenix Friday afternoon.

Authorities on Saturday identified the woman as Christina Lara, 25, and the 2-month-old boy as Josiah Lara.

Phoenix police said the collision happened shortly before 1:30 p.m. at 19th Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road.

Video from the scene shows extensive damage to a silver sedan and damage to a black pickup truck that appears to have rolled over.

Investigators say a 23-year-old man was driving the sedan heading south on 19th Avenue, who witnesses said was weaving in and out of traffic and speeding through a yellow light when he hit the pickup truck.

The truck driver was traveling northbound and was trying to make a left turn onto Lower Buckeye when the sedan collided with his car.

The truck driver, identified only as a 75-year-old man, was not injured.

But police said Lara and Josiah, who were in the sedan, did not survive the crash. Three other children were also in the car and were taken to the hospital as a precaution to have their injuries checked.

Police said impairment is not a factor in the crash at this time, but detectives are still investigating what led to the collision.

According to police, none of the children in the sedan were wearing seat belts or car seats.

Authorities said they are still working to determine whether charges will be filed.
