2 dead, 5 injured in serious rollover crash in Peoria

Two people are dead and five more, some of them children, are hurt after a serious rollover wreck at 75th and Northern avenues. The crash is under investigation, but Wolfe said this is not a hit-and-run situation. Investigators are trying to piece together the moments leading up to the crash, but they have not determined what caused the vehicle to roll. Two injured adults were transported by ground ambulance, as well. The other three were transported by ground ambulance.

Three children in the vehicle, ranging in age from 3 to 11, were transported to a local hospital with critical injuries. Kennedy was transported to a local hospital for minor injuries. Wolfe said at this time, impairment is not believed to be a factor in the crash. Police said several passengers were ejected after the two-vehicle wreck and both vehicles were left upside down.
After an injury car accident, take these steps to help the recovery process

When someone has been injured in a car crash, it's hard to know what to do to help. Injured people need appropriate medical treatment, but they also need to have their civil and legal rights protected.

After a serious crash, several steps need to be taken, including informing the insurance companies, tracking and documenting lost income from missed work, and coordinating medical bill payments. These are difficult tasks to manage when someone is dealing with severe injuries.

Title of article states " Peoria, Illinois"; it is actually "Peoria, AZ".
