3 teens dead, 3 in critical condition after midnight Phoenix crash

Police said impairment is a possible factor on the crash.

Three teens died and three are at the hospital in critical condition, after a crash at 23rd and Dunlap avenues.

Shortly after midnight Phoenix Police responded to a call of a crash involving two cars.

Police said a 2015 Nissan Pathfinder was traveling eastbound on west Dunlap Avenue when it drove over the center line and crashed into a 2006 Kia Spectra. The driver of the Spectra, 18-year-old Nijah-- or Chyanne as her family called her-- Chibeast, was killed in the crash.

A 17-year-old girl in her car was also killed, officials said. The Chibeast family later confirmed that passenger was Chyanne's fiancee, Makayla.

Family members found Chibeast's engagement ring at the crash site.

Another passenger in the Nissan was pronounced dead at the hospital. The driver and two other passengers are in critical condition.

One of the teens in critical condition is not expected to survive, police said.

Police said impairment is a possible factor on the crash.

The investigation is ongoing.
