PHOENIX – Four teenagers were injured Monday after the car they were traveling in crashed into a home in Phoenix, authorities said.
Two cars were involved in the crash at about 4:30 p.m. MST, with one of the vehicles careening into the corner of a home, Sgt. Ann Justus, a spokesperson for the Phoenix Police Department, told KPNX-TV.
