    logo_sedonafiredistrictSedona AZ (April 2, 2014) – On Wednesday, April 2, 2014, at approximately 12:30 pm, the Sedona Fire District responded to a reported injured hiker near the Devil’s Bridge. Upon arrival units determined that an approximately 50 year old female, while hiking with her family, fell about 75 feet. Once on scene, SFD emergency crews determined that the hiker had sustained potentially life threatening injuries.

    Quickly providing initial treatment for the injured patient, emergency crews carried her nearly ¾ of a mile to an awaiting off-road SFD vehicle. The patient was transported to a ground ambulance for transport to Flagstaff Medical Center.

    Typically patients sustaining life threatening injuries in off road environments are transported by air ambulance to local area hospitals. With wind speeds of over of 20 miles per hour and wind gusts in excess of 35 miles per hour, no air ambulance was able to safely respond.

        Very sadly, she died later that afternoon in a Flagstaff hospital.


    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
