In St. George on Monday, a husband and wife, David and Leslee Henson were struck while walking on the sidewalk.
A traffic accident shortly after 9:00 am on Dixie Drive just north of Sunbrook Drive had police responding. A car headed southbound on Dixie drive rear-ended another vehicle, which caused the front vehicle to veer into the side of the road. Unfortunately David and Leslee were crossing the street as pedestrians at that exact moment of the crash.
A helicopter had to transport 56-year-old David Henson to the Dixie regional Medical Center, and was died at the hospital. Leslee, also 56, was taken to the local hospital by ambulance, but later transferred for more treatment to Salt Lake City.
Both drivers had minor injuries, and were also taken to the hospital. Investigation is still pending to try and reconstruct the incident. The county attorney will determine what charges will be filed.
