Somerton, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - Today, Somerton Cocopah Fire Department (SCFD) responded to a three-vehicle collision at County 19th and Somerton Avenue.

At their arrival in the intersection itself, SCFD came upon a white pickup truck leaning against a box van vehicle.

A grey crossover car with substantial front-end damage was in the center of County 19th west of Somerton Avenue.

Inside the white pickup truck were a male driver and a female passenger. The box van had a single driver.

The drivers of both vehicles were outside of their cars once SCFD arrived.
