At about 6:15 p.m., St. George Police officers responded to the crash at the intersection of 850 North and 3050 East, where they encountered a disabled Buick Park Avenue with a smashed-in front driver’s side.

The Buick was stuck in the middle of the intersection, while the other car, a Chevrolet Impala, remained operable and was pulled off the road.

No injuries were reported, and the driver of the Chevrolet was cited for not stopping at the red light.

The crash scene was cleared by 6:50 p.m.
