A 38-year-old woman died and two young women were seriously injured Tuesday night in a head-on crash on Honeycutt Road, according to Maricopa police.

Maricopa police and Maricopa Fire and Medical Department crews responded around 9:50 p.m. to Honeycutt Road east of White and Parker Road after reports of a vehicle collision.

When first responders arrived, they found two vehicles had collided head-on in the westbound lanes of Honeycutt Road, police said.

A preliminary investigation found a Honda CR-V driven by a 38-year-old woman was traveling west on Honeycutt Road when a Nissan Xterra driven east by a 21-year-old woman drifted into the westbound lane and hit the Honda head-on, according to police.

The Nissan also carried a 20-year-old woman in the front passenger seat.

All three people involved sustained major injuries, police said. The Honda driver was taken to a local hospital, where she died from her injuries.

The Nissan driver and passenger were also taken to a local hospital. Police said the driver was in stable condition, while the passenger was in critical condition when the department issued its statement.

The Pinal County Vehicular Crimes Unit responded to assist with the investigation, which police said is standard procedure for a crash of this magnitude.

Drugs or alcohol are believed to have been a factor in the crash, according to police.

No arrests have been made, and the investigation remains ongoing.

Police said the identity of the woman killed is being withheld to allow time for next of kin notifications.
