A 57-year-man is dead following a chain-reaction crash started by a semi-truck, Phoenix police said.
The collision occurred about 12:45 p.m. Aug. 28 when a semi-truck crashed into several vehicles stopped at a red light near 12th Street and Indian School Road, police said.
Officers were called to the crash and found Jimmy Orama suffering critical injuries. Despite lifesaving treatment provided by Phoenix Fire Department personnel, he died at the scene.
Detectives responded and learned the semi-truck was driving west on Indian School Road when it failed to stop and crashed into the vehicles stopped at a red light, according to a Phoenix Police Department release.
Orama’s car was the second vehicle to be struck “before a chain reaction that led to six vehicles being damaged as a result of this incident,” the release stated.
The man driving the truck was evaluated, and no signs of impairment were noted, police said, adding further details are part of an ongoing investigation.
