PHOENIX — A 20-year-old woman is dead after she crashed through a brick wall and into the garage of a Goodyear home, authorities said.

Officers received a call from family members of Helen Guzman-Vasquez around 2:40 p.m. Saturday and were told she was making suicidal statements, the Goodyear Police Department said in a press release.

Family members said Guzman-Vasquez had left the home near Yuma Road and Cotton Lane in a black Q50 Infiniti 4-door Sedan.

While police were at the scene, they received a call around 3:35 p.m. that about half a mile south of the original call a black sedan traveling at a high rate of speed crashed through a wall and into the garage of a home.

No individual was home or injured as a result of the incident.

Goodyear fire personnel pulled out the sole driver of the vehicle identified as Guzman-Vasquez.

She was taken to a trauma center where she later died.

No additional information was available.
