St. George, UT (March 13, 2025) – A 75-year-old man was hospitalized following a two-vehicle collision on Red Hills Parkway near the Red Cliffs Mall on Tuesday afternoon.
The crash took place just before 3 p.m. when the older man, driving a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee northbound on Red Hills Parkway, approached the intersection of Gateway Drive. Surveillance footage from CollisionCam reportedly captured the SUV veering left as it entered the intersection, leading to a head-on collision with a 2013 Toyota Camry.
The Toyota, driven by a 41-year-old man, was stopped in the southbound left-turn lane when it was struck. Emergency medical personnel responded, treating the Jeep’s driver for chest pain before transporting him to St. George Regional Hospital. The driver of the Camry declined medical treatment.
According to St. George Police Public Information Officer Tiffany Mitchell, the SUV driver was cited for improper lane travel. The investigation into the incident remains ongoing.
Our thoughts are with the injured driver, and we wish him a smooth recovery.

- Head Injuries: Concussions and traumatic brain injuries can occur even in minor crashes, potentially affecting memory, concentration, and daily functioning.
