One person in the pickup was pronounced dead at the scene, while the second occupant, along with the cement truck's driver, sustained minor injuries.
The victim's name was withheld pending notification of next-of-kin.
SGPD was investigating the cause of the crash and did not immediately release any other details, including genders of the dead and injured.
