Car-pickup collision leaves 1 dead, 1 hurt

8/16/2007

One person was dead and another was injured after a car and pickup crashed in southwest Toledo at Hill and Westwood avenues about 11:45 last night, police said.

The car was believed to be eastbound on Hill when it turned in front of a westbound pickup at the intersection with Westwood, police said.

Both the person who was pronounced dead at the scene and the injured person were in the car, which was so mangled that rescue workers used extrication equipment.

A light drizzle fell for a short time before the crash.
