The two-vehicle wreck occurred when an eastbound pickup tried to take a left turn onto Autumn Road, he said.

While making the turn, the truck hit a Jeep that was headed west on Chenal Parkway, causing the Jeep to hit a curb and roll over at least once, McClanahan said. Police believe the truck's driver did not properly yield while trying to make a left-hand turn, he said.
