The Yuma County Sherif's Office is investigating a fatal accident.

The accident occurred shortly after 5:00 p.m. Sunday at Gila Gravity Canal Road. A pick-up truck was reported to be submerged in the Gila Gravity Canal with a subject trapped inside. According to YCSO, the pick-up was travelling westbound on the road when the driver failed to negotiate a curve and the truck rolled over and came to rest in the canal. The driver, a juvenile from Yuma, was able to get out of the vehicle and was uninjured. A passenger, also a Yuma juvenile, was unable to escape the submerged pick-up. The passenger was pronounced dead at the scene after the YCSO Dive Team was able to retrieve the victim's body. The accident remains under investigation.
