A heartbreaking crash near State Farm Stadium in Glendale has left one person dead and multiple others injured, casting a somber mood over the community as authorities continue investigating the devastating incident. The collision occurred Sunday evening, November 30, around 5:45 p.m., on Maryland Avenue near the Loop 101 ramps—a busy corridor frequently traveled by families and fans heading to local events.
According to the Arizona Department of Public Safety, the two-vehicle crash resulted in several injuries at the scene. Paramedics worked urgently to treat multiple victims, providing immediate care before transporting those in need to nearby hospitals. While officials did not release the total number of injured individuals or the severity of their conditions, they confirmed Monday that one person tragically died from injuries sustained in the collision.
Though the DPS has not publicly identified the deceased, sources confirmed to Trending News Tracker that the victim was Abby Ojeda. Ojeda was reportedly traveling with her fiancé and their 3-year-old son when their vehicle was struck by an alleged drunk driver. The young family’s ordinary Sunday evening turned into an unimaginable tragedy—one that has now left loved ones reeling and a community grieving the loss of a woman described as caring, devoted, and deeply cherished.
In the aftermath of the crash, supporters quickly organized a fundraiser through Zelle to assist Ojeda’s family during this painful time. The financial effort aims to help cover funeral costs, medical needs, and daily expenses as her fiancé and son navigate an overwhelming and life-changing loss. Community members have expressed an outpouring of condolences, solidarity, and heartbreak as details of the tragedy have spread across social media and local networks.
Detectives with the DPS Vehicular Crimes Unit are leading the investigation into the deadly collision. While authorities have not yet confirmed whether the suspected impaired driver will face charges, no citations or arrests had been publicly reported as of Monday. Officials say the probe remains active, and additional information will be released once available. The case now stands as a sobering reminder of the catastrophic consequences of impaired driving—especially on roads shared by families simply trying to get home safely.
As the investigation continues, the community remains united in mourning. Loved ones remember Abby as a devoted mother, a loving partner, and a bright presence whose life was stolen far too soon. In the coming days, many hope for accountability, healing, and support for her grieving family.
