South Phoenix collision leaves 1 dead, 2 others hospitalized

PHOENIX — Phoenix detectives are investigating a collision Sunday morning that left one passenger dead and two other people hospitalized.

Around 10:45 a.m., officers responded to a collision near Seventh Avenue and Baseline Road with multiple adults injured.

One driver and his passenger were transported to the hospital in stable condition, but another passenger of the same vehicle, 27-year-old Samantha Starling, was pronounced dead.
