3 Hurt in Possible DUI Crash on Merritt Street

Prescott, AZ (April 07, 2022) On Tuesday afternoon, a 3-vehicle collision at the intersection of Montezuma Street and Merritt Street injured 3 people.

The Prescott Police Department (PPD) says the crash happened around 4:12 p.m.

Reports say that a 1998 Dodge truck traveling north did not slow down for the stopped traffic at the intersection.

Consequently, the Dodge crashed into the back of a 2006 Toyota Solaris. The collision pushed the Toyota forward and into the back of a 2018 Jeep Wrangler.

Rescuers say that a 27-year-old Pine man on the Dodge, a 63-year-old Prescott woman on the Toyota, and a 59-year-old Prescott man on the Jeep sustained injuries due to the crash.

Paramedics transported both the woman and the truck driver to the Yavapai Regional Medical Center.

Afterward, a helicopter took the patients to another Phoenix hospital due to serious injuries.

Meanwhile, paramedics treated the Prescott man onsite.

Police are investigating the crash and said that impairment may be a factor in the crash.
