    logo_ycsoCottonwood AZ (May 24, 2016) – On May 21, 2016, just after 5 PM, YCSO deputies were dispatched to an injury collision about 1.5 miles north along Forest Road 761 from Bill Grey Road, Cottonwood. Upon arrival, deputies found an ATV with heavy damage apparently from a rollover. The driver of the vehicle, a 40-year-old man from Marana, Arizona, had been ejected and was lying on the roadway with significant head and upper body injuries.

    A 47-year-old female passenger from Tucson indicated she was seat belted and remained secured in the vehicle following the collision sustaining minor injuries. She noted the driver was also wearing his seatbelt at the time. EMS personnel arrived, treated the injured man before he was flown to Flagstaff Medical Center. As of yesterday, he is listed in critical condition with a broken skull and bleeding on his brain.  

    The initial investigation indicates the ATV driver was travelling at an excessive speed as he drove across an uneven portion of the dirt road making it difficult to control the vehicle. It appeared the vehicle left the roadway at this point, entered a shallow ditch and when the driver attempted to re-enter the roadway, the vehicle rolled several times before coming to rest. Deputies noticed the driver’s lap seat belt was not attached to the buckle and have not yet determined if the belt was in this condition prior to, or as a result of the collision.

      Would be a GREAT idea to BAN ATV’s from all sedona roads and restrict them to off road use ONLY!!
      They are NOT SAFE and add to Sedona’s Traffic Problems.

      I agree, there is no place for these on our roads. Most are driven with no regard to other drivers, pedestrians or the environment.


    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
