Fatal Crash Shuts Down Ox Road at Zion Drive; Elderly Woman Killed

An elderly woman was killed and three others were injured in an afternoon crash at the intersection of Ox Road and Zion Drive Thursday.

The two cars, both Lexus sedans, collided with each other at the intersection just before 1 p.m., said police spokesman Officer E.J. Azcarate. The crash resulted in severe traffic along Ox Road hours after the accident.

The elderly woman was in her vehicle alone and died at the scene, police said.

The second Lexus contained a woman and two young children, Azcarate said. They were taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital and were in serious condition.

Azcarate said that police would not be releasing the names of anyone involved until their families were notified of the crash.

Traffic investigators are looking into the cause of the crash. No further information was available at this time.
