ST. GEORGE — A driver was injured and taken to the hospital after another failure-to-yield crash in St. George Sunday.
A woman driving a Buick LaCrosse on Dixie Drive failed to yield when making a left turn onto Valley View Drive at approximately 1 p.m., St. George Police officer Derek Lewis said. The LaCrosse slammed into the driver’s side of a Hyundai Sonata, which was northbound on Dixie Drive, Lewis said. (See Ed. Note)
The driver in the Sonata was injured and taken to the hospital by Gold Cross Ambulance.
“As far as injuries go, we’re not entirely sure of the severity of it,” Lewis said
The driver of the LaCrosse was issued a citation for failure to yield, Lewis said.
Both vehicles sustained major damage in the crash. The busy intersection was blocked for about 30 minutes until tow trucks could remove the damaged vehicles from the scene.
St. George Fire Department also responded to the scene.
This report is based on preliminary information provided by law enforcement or other emergency responders and may not contain the full scope of findings.
Ed. Note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly reported the direction the Buick LaCrosse was traveling on Dixie Drive.

How do you drive north on Dixie Drive and make a left turn onto Valley View?
flip an abrupt 180 turn before u flip out into into a rapid L turn
it helps to have a phone in one hand
makes it more suave looking
until u get slammed into
then u look like a clown
42214 – I see reading comprehension is not something you are good at, the Buick was making a left onto Valley View, and the Hyundai was headed north on Dixie. Reading is fundamental kids!
it’s cuz he edited the article and made corrections to it.
thats the advantage of online vs print
you owe 422 an apology.
The original story was edited. It stated the Buick was driving north on Dixie Dr. I think Comments would confirm that.
What’s the penalty for failure to yield?
Good question !
Not a problem, the ward bishop will smooth this all out…
Mr. Ricks, “fake news”, you could get a job at CNN. Nice editing job on the sly.
