HURRICANE — A woman died Friday after her car collided with a truck at an intersection, officials said.
The two crashed at 1150 West State St. around 4 p.m. Preliminary investigation indicates a male driving a silver 2006 GMC Sierra truck was traveling west on State St. and was approaching the intersection of 1150 West when he collided with a car travelling south on 1150 W., also approaching the intersection.
The 51-year-old woman driving a gray 2000 Pontiac Bonneville was extricated from the car and transported to Dixie Regional Medical Center, where she died from injuries, Hurricane police said.
The man, 36, was transported to the same hospital in stable condition. Eastbound traffic was blocked for about an hour and a half due to the accident.
"Our hearts go out to the families involved; this is such a tragic incident," Hurricane police said in a statement.
Police are still investigating what caused the two vehicles to crash in the intersection. They didn't say whether alcohol, drugs or excessive speed are considered as possible factors.
