4 Injured in Yuma County Car Accident
The Wednesday afternoon collisions on East South Frontage Road sent three drivers and a sheriff's deputy to Onvida Health.
Cristina PerezThe Yuma County Sheriff's Office said three drivers were hurt in a three-vehicle crash on East South Frontage Road in Yuma County on October 28, and a deputy directing traffic at the scene was then hit by a pickup.
The Afternoon Collision on East South Frontage Road
Deputies responded at about 1:55 p.m. to a report of a three-vehicle collision in the 10700 block of East South Frontage Road in the Foothills. The sheriff's office said a gray Ford F150 was traveling eastbound when it failed to negotiate a curve, crossed into oncoming traffic and hit two other vehicles. The sheriff's office said each of the three drivers was alone in a vehicle, and all three were taken to Onvida Health.
While deputies investigated, the sheriff's office said a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado left the Best Western Plus and turned westbound onto the road. The sheriff's office said the pickup struck a deputy who was directing traffic. The pickup's driver, a Somerton resident, remained at the scene. The deputy was taken to Onvida Health, and the sheriff's office said the injuries were not life threatening.
Where the Yuma County Sheriff's Investigation Stands
The case remains under investigation. The sheriff's office said speed and impairment appear to be a factor in the three-vehicle collision. The office also noted that impairment does not seem to have played a part in the crash that involved the deputy. Anyone with information was asked to contact the sheriff's office, and no charges have been announced.
