An SUV accident in Surprise has left one person injured.

The accident occurred when a Nissan Xterra turned out in front of a semi truck, which forced the Xterra to lose control and spin out.

He was airlifted to a nearby hospital. The full extent of his injuries has not been reported.

The driver of the semi truck was uninjured.

A pedestrian who was struck by a pickup truck while crossing the street is now fighting to stay alive.

Tiffani Nichols, 58, was crossing the street—not in a crosswalk—when a truck traveling on the southbound side of the road hit her. Unconscious but still breathing, she rushed to a Scottsdale area hospital.

Now in critical condition, Nichols is fighting for her life. The accident left her with multiple injuries, although the extent of her injuries has not been disclosed.
