AVONDALE, Ariz. (AP) - Authorities have identified a man who was killed in a four-car crash in Avondale, west of Phoenix.
Maricopa County Sheriff’s officials say 18-year-old Alika Lyau-Goodwin died of his injuries at a hospital after Monday’s pileup.
Three vehicles were stopped on a road with one of the vehicles disabled and the other two helping to hook a tow line.
Sheriff’s investigators say a car driven by 23-year-old Marianna Villalobos Lopez allegedly collided with the three stopped vehicles.
They say Lyau-Goodwin was underneath the vehicle securing tow straps when the collision occurred.
Two of the six other people involved in the accident were taken to a hospital for treatment and remain in stable condition.
Investigators say excessive speed apparently played a part in the collision, but driver impairment isn’t considered a factor.
