PHOENIX, AZ – Four children were taken to the hospital on Wednesday after a multi-vehicle collision caused by a 14-year-old driver.

According to ABC 15, the accident occurred when a Hyundai Santa Fe, driven by a 14-year-old child, blew through a stop sign near I-17 and Central Avenue and collided with a GMC Yukon.

The vehicle was carrying six children at the time of the collision and, according to police, the four children riding in the back of the vehicle were not wearing seat belts. Two of the six children in the Hyundai were ejected from the vehicle during the crash. A 12-year-old boy was rushed to the hospital in extremely critical condition, but later died. A 9-year-old boy was also transported to the hospital and is listed in serious condition. Two other children were treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

It is not clear whether the Hyundai’s driver was among the injured.

The driver of the Yukon was not hurt.

    • Two family members were in a bad wreck a couple of years ago, and as a result called Phillips Law to represent them. Montana Thompson was the attorney assigned to the case with the help of Nemo Farr as legal assistant. Mr. Thompson litigated a very generous settlement for both my stepdaughter and her son. Because my grandson is a minor, I decided to act as conservator for him to ensure the settlement was safe and secure. Montana helped with that process, but it was Nemo who went way above and beyond the call in finding a financial institution to use for the restricted account. There were some glitches in that process but Nemo helped navigate them with a calm expertise which belies his age. I would consider them both great representatives of the level of commitment to their clients and assets to their firm.
