Prescott woman killed in crash on Iron Springs Road

Friday night, YCSO responded to a fatal crash on Iron Springs Road near Skull Valley. Spokesman Dwight D’Evelyn says on arrival, deputies contacted the 911 caller who reported finding a woman’s body, apparently ejected from a vehicle following a crash. Deputies examined the body and found no signs of life likely due to severe visible upper body injuries. Medical personnel arrived shortly thereafter and pronounced her deceased. She was identified as 26-year-old Shannon Smith of Prescott. He says Smith’s body was found more than 100-yards from her vehicle. The initial investigation suggests Smith’s vehicle crossed the roadway center line, struck a guard rail and rolled several times. It appears Smith was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected. Smith’s body was released to the medical examiner’s office for follow-up. D’Evelyn says deputies noted that about 30-minutes before the crash, they received an attempt to locate message from Prescott Police regarding an erratic driver in a black Toyota Tacoma, possibly DUI.

  1. “Possibly a DUI” is defamation with no evidence that the two were connected whatsoever. This is a person with a family you are slandering. Have some class.
