A 58-year-old Alejandro Arturo Montes died of injuries he sustained during a recent motor vehicle accident involving three vehicles that occurred near 35th Avenue and McDowell Road.
The Motor Vehicle Accident
According to Phoenix Sgt. Tommy Thompson, Montes was driving a Toyota Solara eastbound on Monte Vista Road when he failed to stop at a stop sign at 35th Avenue.
