Seatbelt may have saved a woman’s life in rollover accident.

Last week, YCSO deputies were dispatched to a single vehicle rollover on Boynton Canyon Road near Boynton Pass Road, in Sedona. Spokesman Dwight D’Evelyn says the driver, a 29-year-old Cottonwood woman, later told deputies she had fallen asleep while driving to work. When she woke, she over corrected the steering and went off the right side of the road, then veered back to the left side of the road. At this point, the vehicle flipped and landed in a drainage culvert several feet below the roadway. D’Evelyn says the driver, who was wearing a seat belt, sustained minor injuries and was transported to a local hospital and later released. He says the fact that the woman was wearing her seatbelt, most likely saved her life.
