The mayor of Tombstone was taken to Canyon Vista Medical Center after his truck collided with a van on East Fremont Street Tuesday morning.
According to a social media post from the Cochise County Sheriff, Mayor Dusty Escapule was making a left turn in his 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 onto Camino San Rafael when he was struck by a 2023 Dodge Ram 3500 van.
The van veered into a parked car, the post said. The mayor's truck went off the shoulder before stopping.
Fremont Street was closed for about two hours as a result.
The Cochise County Sheriff's Office was brought in to investigate since the Tombstone mayor was involved.
The investigation is ongoing.
