The crash happened around 7:30 a.m. near 75th and Virginia Avenues, close to the Desert Sky Mall, according to Phoenix police. One driver hit a fire hydrant and water flooded the intersection.

Officials said a woman was taken to the hospital in critical condition.

One car began to submerge into a muddy sinkhole that had been formed from the water eruption. The other vehicle appeared to have heavy damage to the front.

Police were investigating what led up to the crash.
