YUMA COUNTY, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) – The Yuma County Sheriff’s Office (YCSO) is investigating a crash where two people were injured.
The crash happened at around 2:05 p.m. Saturday at the intersection of W. County 14th Street and S. Somerton Avenue.
YCSO says a white 2014 Chevy Silverado was driving northbound on S. Somerton Avenue, “through the intersection at W. County 14th Street,” when a marked U.S. Border Patrol truck driving westbound “failed to stop at a red light at the intersection.”
The U.S. Border Patrol truck hit the Silverado, causing the truck to rollover and crash into a traffic light post “where it came to a stop,” YCSO says.
According to YCSO, both drivers of the truck and Silverado suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were taken to Onvida Health by the Somerton/Cocopah Fire Department. YCSO also says, “There were no other passengers.”
While impairment 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.
