Glendale, AZ – Cristian Ramos Killed in Car Accident at 51st Ave & Peoria Ave

Glendale, AZ (November 11, 2019) –

A man is dead and a woman has been arrested after a crash Sunday night in Glendale.

The single-vehicle crash happened on 51st Avenue just south of Peoria Avenue at around 8:50 p.m.

Police say the driver, later identified as 24-year-old Evangelina Elizabeth Lara, was passing vehicles at a high rate of speed. 

Lara then apparently lost control of the vehicle, causing her to hit a residential block wall.

The male passenger, identified as 25-year-old Cristian Ramos, was pronounced dead at the scene. Lara was transported to a local hospital. She’s expected to survive.

Police believe both speed and impairment were factors in the crash. 

Lara told officers that she and Ramos were arguing at the time of the crash. 

After Lara was released from the hospital, she was arrested.

Lara is facing felony charges for reckless manslaughter. 

Police had 51st Avenue closed in both directions between Brown Street and Mountain View Road. It has since reopened.

We would like to offer our condolences to the family of the deceased victim. Our thoughts are with the injured victims in hopes of a full recovery.

Fatal Car Crashes in Arizona

According to data released by the Arizona Department of Public Safety, nearly 130,000 crashes occurred in Arizona last year alone. And more than 11,000 of these accidents involved at least two drivers and multiple injuries or even fatalities.

When multiple victims sustain injuries in an accident, they may have to deal with other drivers’ insurance companies, physical distress, emotional trauma, and long-term financial difficulties. Occasionally, victims succumb to their injuries from these accidents, leaving grieving families to pick up the pieces. Due to the negligence of other drivers, families are forced to cope with tragic consequences, all while mourning their lost loved ones.

However, the victims and their families affected by these wrecks can seek help from an injury attorney. A skilled attorney can help victims seek justice and the fair compensation they deserve from suffering in an accident that occurred through no fault of their own.
