An eastbound Ford Edge hit the trailer head-on, Jones said.

Fire Rescue Battalion Chief Kyle Kofke said two occupants in the SUV were injured. One was taken by ground to a local hospital with minor injuries. The other refused treatment at the scene.

Jones said the driver of the pickup had failed to properly secure the trailer with safety chains.

Charges were pending the outcome of an investigation.
