Police officers responded to a two-vehicle crash on Elliot Road and Cole Drive in Gilbert on Friday afternoon that left a man and infant dead.
Gilbert police later named one of the victims to be 22-year-old Cooper Lamb, Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb’s son, and stated that the infant was Sheriff Lamb’s granddaughter.
According to the Gilbert Police Department, a silver truck was traveling westbound at what appeared to be “normal speeds” when it struck a red passenger car traveling eastbound. The red car had attempted to make a left-hand turn to go north on Cole Drive.
