A four-vehicle accident tied up traffic for hours early Tuesday afternoon at the intersection of Mesquite Boulevard and State Route 95.

Two of the four drivers involved were taken to Havasu Regional Medical Center for what is believed non life-threatening injuries, according to the Lake Havasu City Police Department.

The accident occurred at 10:45 a.m. when a 64-year-old man was speeding southbound on SR95 in an empty dump truck and attempted to stop at the Mesquite intersection and went into a spin, according to police. The truck crossed into the oncoming lane striking a 1994 Oldsmobile van driven by a 70-year-old woman, who had to be extricated from the vehicle and transported to the hospital. The driver of the dump truck also was injured.
