YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – The Yuma County Sheriff’s Office (YCSO) is investigating a two-vehicle crash which left a man injured Friday morning.
According to a press release, the crash happened at around 10:35 a.m. in the area of Laguna Dam Road and County 5 1/2 Street.
YCSO says a 2007 Dodge Dakota was driving northbound on Laguna Dam Road while a 2001 Ford Ranger was driving east on a dirt road.
For unknown reasons, YCSO says the driver of the Ford attempted a wide turn in front of the Dodge, resulting in the Dodge to crash into the front passenger side of the Ford.
As a result, YCSO says the driver of the Ford, a 67-year-old man from Yuma, was trapped inside the vehicle, and says “life saving measures were performed by medical personnel on scene.”
YCSO says the man was taken to Onvida Health for serious injuries.
While alcohol did not factor in the crash, the investigation is ongoing. If anyone has information regarding the case, call YCSO at (928) 783-4427, call 78-CRIME to remain anonymous, or visit YCSO’s website to submit an anonymous tip.
