YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - The Yuma Police Department (YPD) is investigating a crash which left one man injured.

The crash happened at around 5:10 p.m. Saturday, in the area of South Araby Road, after YPD says they received reports to a pick-up truck crashing into a canal with the driver still inside.

YPD says a 73-year-old man was driving a 2005 Dodge Ram southbound on Araby Road when he "possibly suffered a medical issue and left the roadway," crashing into the canal as a result.

The Yuma Fire Department (YFD) was also there to deploy a technical rescue response, with YFD saying the rescuers safely removed the man from the vehicle.

YPD says the man was taken to Onvida Health with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

While neither speed nor alcohol appeared to have factored in the crash, the investigation is ongoing.
