ST. GEORGE, UT : Left-turn collision on River Road sends 1 to hospital on Tuesday, 8th May 2018

An attempt to turn left onto River Road ended in a collision and one person being sent to the hospital Wednesday.Just after 4 p.m., St. George Police officers responded to the report of a two-vehicle crash on River Road and found a Mazda 3 with heavy front-end damage. The car was poking out onto River Road from 2330 South. Just north of the Mazda 3 was a Toyota passenger car that had jumped the curb and crashed into a fire hydrant.

The Mazda was driven by a male juvenile who told police he had looked in both directions before attempting to make the left turn onto River Road, St. George Police officer Andy Mickelson said.

However, when the teen made the turn, he didn’t see the oncoming Toyota in the outside lane and pulled out in front of the northbound car.

The resulting collision decimated both vehicles. The Mazda 3’s front end was nearly ripped off by the impact. The teen appeared physically unharmed and was able to walk away from the crash.
