2 Killed and 1 Injured after Car Accident in Phoenix

In Phoenix, authorities are reporting that two people are dead after a single vehicle car accident, which took place last Friday night.

According to police officers, 35-year-old Shelly Skaggs and an unknown adult male were victims of the crash and were both killed.  Police also report that Skaggs' 20-year-old son remains at a Valley hospital in critical condition because he suffered serious injuries during the auto accident.

At around 9:30 PM, a 2002 Mercedes was traveling westbound on New River Road and was supposedly speeding west of Interstate 17 when it failed to negotiate a curve.  The car rolled numerous times and ejected all three occupants. The vehicle then burst into flames.

Police say that Skaggs just purchased the Mercedes earlier that day and they have not been able to determine who was driving when the accident took place.  They are investigating as they believe speed and alcohol contributed to the collision.
