Eight people in all were taken to the hospital for their injuries, according to Phoenix fire officials.<\/p>\n

Four men and a woman were reportedly in critical condition. One of the men was listed as in “extremely critical condition.”<\/p>\n

Authorities say two speeding vehicles caused the crash. A 26-year-old man was heading northbound at a high rate of speed. He failed to stop for traffic waiting at the red light and hit two vehicles that were stopped at the intersection.<\/p>\n

Police say a second speeding driver, a 33-year-old man, was traveling northbound and also failed to stop. He hit the rear of another stopped vehicle, pushing it into an oncoming car in the southbound lanes. The 33-year-old suffered life-threatening injuries and remains in critical condition.<\/p>\n

Authorities say impairment and speed are believed to be factors for both drivers.<\/p>\n
