81-year-old Chandler man dead after 3-vehicle crash in Peoria

An 81-year-old man from Chandler is dead following a three-vehicle collision in Peoria on Friday morning, authorities said.

The Peoria Police Department identified the deceased man as Daniel Cohn.

Officers responded to the crash near State Route 74 and New River Road around 9:47 a.m. Authorities said the preliminary investigation suggests that one of the vehicles, which was traveling westbound on SR74, crossed left of the center and collided with two vehicles going eastbound.

In addition to Cohn, two other people were taken to local hospitals for treatment.

The cause of the fatal crash is under investigation. However, impairment does not seem to be a factor, police said.
