Two people died after sustaining injuries from a single-vehicle collision on North Country Club Drive early Saturday morning.
On Saturday morning at approximately 3 a.m., Flagstaff police responded to the accident. Initial information indicates the vehicle was traveling southeast on N. Country Club Drive toward E. Soliere Avenue when the vehicle left the roadway and collided with a business in the area, police said.
Upon arrival, officers found the vehicle inside of a business lobby and two individuals outside of the vehicle.

A male passenger identified as Jeffrey Kassir, 23, who is believed to have been the driver, was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. A female passenger identified as Amanda Mosqueira, 22, was transported to the Flagstaff Medical Center where she was pronounced dead.
