PHOENIX (AP) – Phoenix police said Friday they had arrested two men who escaped from a fatal crash site in a vehicle they stole from good Samaritans who stopped to help victims.
Police spokesman Sgt. Andy Williams said the driver of a Chevy pickup truck with a passenger turned in front of a compact sedan shortly after midnight in West Phoenix. The 35-year-old limousine driver was seriously injured and his 42-year-old male passenger was killed in the wreck.
Two men passing by stopped and got out to help, Williams said in a statement. The two 20-year-old men took weapons and ammunition from their truck in a pickup and stole the vehicle of the good Samaritans.
Police later located the stolen Chevy Avalanche in a nearby neighborhood that was being driven by the man who was the passenger in the pickup truck. The pickup driver was found in a house the truck had just left.
Williams said both men were arrested and the charges they face will later be released.
