YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) – The Yuma Police Department (YPD) is investigating a head-on crash where two people died and two people were injured.
In a press release, the crash happened at around 2:30 p.m. Sunday at the intersection of E. 32nd Street and Avenue 6E.
YPD says a 32-year-old woman was driving a 2016 Ford Explorer westbound on 32nd Street, where it was “attempting to turn left onto Avenue 6E” when it crashed into a 2015 Nissan Rogue, driven by a 71-year-old man, heading eastbound on 32nd Street.
As a result of the crash, YPD says the woman and her passenger, a 18-month-old boy, were both taken to Onvida Health for minor injuries while the man and his passenger, a 69-year-old woman, were also taken to Onvida Health where they later died.
While alcohol does not appear to be a factor in the crash, the investigation is ongoing, and YPD is asking witnesses or anyone who has video of the crash to call them at (928) 783-4421 or 78-CRIME at (928) 782-7463 to remain anonymous.
