One person is dead and two are injured after a four-vehicle collision at Pima and Craycroft Saturday afternoon.

When police arrived on the scene, Breault and another woman were transported to Banner University Medical Center with life threatening injuries. The woman is currently listed in critical condition.

He was driving in the curb lane on Pima St. and ran a red light at N. Craycroft Rd causing a four-vehicle collision.
After Calhoun caused the wreck, he fled the scene and was possibly located inside a business at 5502 E. Pima St.
Calhoun sustained minor injuries from the crash.
