PHOENIX — A 17-year-old girl is dead after an all-terrain vehicle collision that took place in Phoenix on Monday morning, authorities said.
The teen, Edith Ochoa, was driving an ATV around 4 a.m. westbound on Beardsley Road near 47th Avenue before the crash, the Phoenix Police Department said.
However, Ochoa lost control of the vehicle after leaving the road and driving onto the dirt shoulder, police said.

Ochoa had been driving with a 20-year-old male passenger. He was injured and brought to a hospital for treatment.
