PHOENIX — One person is dead and another is injured after a Monday morning collision, according to the Phoenix Police Department.

Michael Peczynski, 70, died on the scene after two vehicles crashed near Cactus Road and 40th Street in Phoenix around 5:30 a.m., police said.

The driver of the other car involved was brought to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, police said. However, that driver was later in stable condition.

Police believe the crash took place while Peczynski was heading westbound on Cactus Road while driving a silver SUV.
