Phoenix police say a deadly crash shut down a major central Phoenix intersection Monday morning.

Police were called out to intersection of 16th Street and Thomas Road around 4:15 a.m. Video from the scene showed a Tesla sedan and an SUV with front-end damage, with a third vehicle rolled over near a sidewalk. Investigators believe the vehicles crashed into each other and then hit a woman who was in the crosswalk. She was pronounced dead on scene. Her name has not yet been released. One of the drivers was also taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Details surrounding what led to the crash are still under investigation. On Twitter, authorities asked drivers to avoid the area, as all four directions are closed. It’s unclear when the intersection will reopen. However drivers should expect closures to last through the morning commute.
