AVONDALE, Ariz. - One person has died and another has been hospitalized following a crash in Avondale.

The collision happened shortly after noon on Wednesday near Broadway and Avondale Boulevard, according to police.

The driver and passenger in the white sedan were injured and taken to the hospital.

Officers on scene have not released the names of the ages of the victims, or the condition of the person hospitalized.
