Colorado City Marshal’s Office Chief Robb Radley told St. George News over the phone that they responded to a crash involving a passenger car and a large pickup truck around 2:40 p.m. The driver of a passenger car had made a left turn onto Highway 389 from Airport Avenue in front of oncoming traffic, he said.

The passenger car ended up colliding with the pickup and involved five people, Radley said.

One of the occupants of the passenger car was killed in the incident and four others were injured, Radley said. He provided an update later specifying that the drivers of both vehicles “have good prognosis with their injuries as well as the two passengers in the car.”

The name of the person killed in the crash is not being released at this time as authorities have yet to notify family members, Radley said.

This report is based on preliminary information provided by law enforcement and may not contain the full scope of findings.
