Yuma, AZ January 25 -- A man police say is responsible for causing a three car accident in the Desert Southwest is dead.
The accident happened Tuesday morning and police say the driver of a Chevrolet pick-up ran a stop sign at Avenue B and 23rd street and hit another Chevy truck. The second truck then hit a jeep waiting to turn left onto 23rd Street.
Avenue B between 20th and 24th Street was closed to through traffic for several hours as Yuma police investigated the accident. A witness at the scene of the accident tells News 13 the man driving the brown Chevy pick-up was driving kind of reckless and going up on the curb and then failed to stop and hit the black Chevy truck.
There were two people inside the second truck that police say collided with the Jeep and two people were inside the Jeep. Sgt. Clint Norred, with the Yuma Police Department says, "The one male driver that was driving the truck that ran the stop sign later died at the hospital, the other four remaining folks that were transported were still being treated but they were reported to not have any life threatening injuries."
Police say the accident is still in the early stages of its investigation. Blood work will be taken to determine if the driver accused of running the stop sign was drunk or high. Anyone with information about the accident is encouraged to contact the Yuma Police Department.
The identity of the deceased man will not be release until his family is notified.
