PHOENIX (AP) - Phoenix police have identified a wrong-way driver who died after her car collided with a light rail train.
Sgt. Tommy Thompson released the driver’s name Sunday as 30-year-old Tameka Talise Spence.
Authorities say Spence was driving her car eastbound on a one-way westbound street in downtown Phoenix around 3 a.m. Sunday when it crashed into the train.
The impact derailed the train, which veered into a light pole. The operator and two passengers on board were not injured.
The cause remains under investigation. Thompson says police believe speed was a factor.
