Both drivers, and an unspecified number of additional truck passengers, were injured and taken to a hospital. Their current conditions were not immediately available.

Evidence so far suggests the truck’s driver failed to yield and the Jeep driver was traveling at “potentially excessive speed,” police said.

Neither driver was impaired at the time, TPD said. The investigation is ongoing.
