Two Phoenix Crashes Send Vehicles Into Homes Hours Apart

Police suspect impairment in the apartment crash.

Overview

  • Phoenix police are investigating two crashes reported just before 11 p.m. Tuesday and around 5 a.m. Wednesday that sent a car into a house and a pickup into an apartment building.
  • In the first crash near 48th Street and Baseline Road, a two-car collision sent one vehicle into a home, the driver was treated at a hospital and cited, and no one inside was hurt.
  • Hours later near 13th Avenue and Buckeye Road, a pickup tore through the first floor of an apartment building and the driver went to a hospital as a precaution.
  • Police say impairment is suspected in the apartment crash and charges could follow after the driver leaves the hospital.
  • Residents said the building shook from the impact as a family slept upstairs, and their landlord moved them to another unit while repairs begin.
