1 in critical condition after head-on crash in central valley

Updated January 24, 2021 - 10:04 pm

Two people were hospitalized after a two-car, head-on crash in the central valley Sunday evening.

The Metropolitan Police Department said a blue pickup truck and a white sedan collided near Spring Mountain Road and Decatur Boulevard about 7:34 p.m.

Both adult drivers were taken to a hospital, and one was in critical condition, Metro Lt. David Gordon said.

Fatal detail detectives are investigating due to the severity of that person’s injuries, Gordon said. The other driver’s condition was not known as of 9:30 p.m.

It’s unclear if there were passengers in either vehicle. Traffic was shut down at the intersection after the wreck and will likely remain shut down until early Monday, Gordon said.

No other information was immediately available.
