Police confirm 1 killed in SUV, pickup crash in south Lubbock - Lubbock Avalanche-Journal

Lubbock Police Department officers responded around 3:30 p.m. To the intersection. Two people were injured at the scene, and a third was transported to University Medical Center, where that person later died.

LPD's Major Crash Investigation Unit is handling the case. The department has not released names, ages, or any other details about the victims or what caused the collision. The unit typically takes over when a collision results in serious injury or death, meaning a full picture will likely take time to emerge.

For south Lubbock residents, that stretch of Quaker near 98th is a heavily traveled corridor, and a Friday afternoon crash during peak traffic hours would have snagged the area for hours. Anyone with information about what happened should contact LPD directly.

South Lubbock has seen steady residential and commercial growth push traffic volumes up along Quaker Avenue over the past decade, making busy intersections like this one a recurring concern for drivers in that part of town.
