Havasu crash kills two

LAKE HAVASU CITY – Two people were killed and another was seriously injured when the sedan they occupied crashed into a flatbed trailer being pulled by a pickup truck Friday, April 28. Police responded at 12:40 p.m. to the incident on State Route 95, between Acoma Blvd. S. and Mulberry Ave.

“Preliminary information suggests the sedan struck the rear of the flatbed trailer that was in tow, both of which were traveling southbound on highway 95,” a press release said. It said speed appears to be a factor and that investigation continues.

Police sergeant Michael Terrinoni said one passenger was dead at the scene and another died following transport to Havasu Regional Medical Center. They are identified as Mason Koon, 22, Lake Havasu, and Cynthia Bedford, 22, California.

Terrinoni said the driver of the sedan was listed in critical condition at Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas.
