The man killed in a head-on crash on Monday morning has been identified by Pinal County Sheriff’s Office. 

Manuel Sanchez-Navarrette, 23, the driver of one of two vehicles involved in a crash near West Louis Johnson Drive and North White and Parker Road, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to Lauren Reimer, a spokesperson for Pinal County Sheriff’s Office. 

“The investigation is still active,” Reimer said. “However, at this point we can say it appears Vehicle 1 was traveling southbound on White and Parker when it crossed the centerline, crashing head-on with Vehicle 2 (driven by Sanchez-Navarrette).” 

One person was transported by air to a hospital and a third injured person was transported by ground ambulance. Both the driver of Vehicle 1, and passenger of Vehicle 2 are in stable condition, according to Reimer. Neither were identified.
