Driver Crashes into Phoenix Home, Killing Jose Martinez Aguirre

A tragic incident unfolded in the early hours of Wednesday morning when a driver crashed his vehicle into a home in Phoenix, resulting in the death of a man who was sleeping inside. The driver has since been arrested and charged with manslaughter.

The collision occurred at approximately 1 a.m. in a residential neighborhood near 31st Avenue and Southern. Disturbing footage from the scene captured the moment a white SUV plowed through a window and collided with the front of the house.

Tragically, 66-year-old Jose Martinez Aguirre was asleep inside his bedroom at the time of impact. Family members confirmed that he was found pinned under the vehicle and succumbed to his injuries after being rushed to the hospital.

Neighbors desperately tried to access Aguirre's room but were unable to reach him in time.

Aguirre had been living with his family for four years, sharing his life with them on a daily basis. His wife was upstairs asleep alongside other family members when tragedy struck.

Law enforcement authorities are currently conducting an investigation into this heartbreaking incident. Fortunately, no one else sustained physical injuries during this catastrophic event.

The alleged driver responsible for causing this tragedy has been identified as 38-year-old Aaron Johns. Police have arrested Johns on charges of manslaughter after detectives determined that impairment played a role in the crash.

Reports indicate that Johns was traveling eastbound on Wayland Drive when he lost control of his vehicle, resulting in the devastating collision with the house. The investigation is ongoing as authorities work to gather all relevant evidence and information surrounding this incident.
