4 People Identified After Truck Crash on South 48th Way in Yuma
Yuma, AZ (January 9, 2025) – Four men died in a crash on South 48th Way.
Authorities have identified the four men who lost their lives after their truck crashed into a Yuma home earlier this week.
On Friday, Yuma police named the victims as 19-year-old Levander Smith, 20-year-old Jovan Orozco, 20-year-old Luis Gamez, and 22-year-old Adrian Palacio.
The crash occurred around 2:50 a.m. on Wednesday when officers responded to reports of a vehicle colliding with a house near the 2800 block of South 48th Way, close to 28th Street and Avenue D.
According to police, Smith was driving a Dodge Ram pickup truck southbound on Avenue D when he veered off the road, smashed through a brick wall, and struck a nearby home.
Smith, Orozco, Gamez, and Palacio were pronounced dead at the scene. Two other passengers, an 18-year-old man and a 20-year-old man, sustained injuries and were transported to the hospital, where they are expected to recover.
The crash also impacted the home’s occupants, with three individuals inside at the time. A 37-year-old woman suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to the hospital for treatment.
Investigators have indicated that speeding and alcohol likely contributed to the crash, though the investigation remains ongoing.
Yuma police encourage anyone with information about the incident to contact them at (928) 783-4421 or call 78-Crime at (928) 782-7463 to provide tips anonymously.
