ST. GEORGE — One person was sent to the hospital and another was arrested after police say an argument in a minivan triggered a rollover on Dixie Drive Friday evening.
Emergency personnel responded to the single-vehicle rollover shortly before 5 p.m. in the area of 1200 South on Dixie Drive involving a Toyota Sienna with two occupants, a male driver and female passenger.
St. George Police Lt. Jordan Minnick said a domestic-related incident occurred between the driver and his passenger as he was driving south on Dixie Drive.
“Based on the actions that were going on inside the vehicle, it caused the driver to lose control of the vehicle and it crashed,” Minnick explained.
At the scene of the crash, Minnick told St. George News the minivan went off the road, hit an embankment and rolled at least once before landing upright in the dirt.
Tire tracks were apparent where the minivan left the road before hitting the embankment and then crashing through a barbed wire fence.
The woman suffered injuries directly related to the crash, Minnick said, noting that her injuries were not believed to be the result of the argument that precipitated the crash. She was transported to Dixie Regional Medical Center by Gold Cross Ambulance.
