Deputies determined the man driving the pickup was traveling east on 81st North and failed to stop at the intersection. The man in the Prius broadsided the pickup, causing it to flip, the news release said.

The driver of the Toyota had a woman with him, who was Veazey. The sheriff’s office reports Veazey was dead when first responders arrived. Crews had to cut her and the man out of the car.
It’s unclear what the driver’s condition was, but he was taken by ambulance to the hospital.
