PHOENIX (AZFamily) – Police say a woman has died from her injuries two weeks after a multi-vehicle crash in west Phoenix.

According to Phoenix Police, 25-year-old Marisa Zermeno died in the hospital on Saturday, September 7, surrounded by her family.

The accident occurred around 2 p.m. on Friday, August 23, near 39th Avenue and Monte Vista Road, about a half-mile north of McDowell Road.

Investigators say Zermeno was driving north on 39th Avenue when a vehicle traveling west on Monte Vista turned left and collided with her car. The impact caused Zermeno's car to spin and strike another vehicle before rolling over several times.

According to police, the child's injuries were serious but not life-threatening.

A woman driving the vehicle that turned left from Monte Vista was also taken to a hospital for treatment, while the man driving the third vehicle was uninjured.

The crash remains under investigation.
