Tuesday afternoon, YCSO deputies were dispatched to a two car collision on Williamson Valley Road at Hootenanny Road, in Prescott involving a sedan and a truck. Spokesman Dwight D’Evelyn says the investigation found that the Ford truck was heading south on Williamson Valley Road and collided with the Hyundai sedan as it entered Williamson Valley Road from Hootenanny Road. The driver of the Hyundai was crossing Williamson Valley Road intending to drive north. The truck collided with the driver’s side of the Hyundai. The driver of the Hyundai, a 75-year-old woman from Prescott, was flown to a Phoenix Hospital in critical condition due to multiple injuries, a 10-year-old passenger was transported to Phoenix Children’s Hospital with possible rib and jaw fractures, along with a 6-year-old passenger who sustained a head injury. A 3-year-old passenger was released with minor injuries. Evidence indicates the driver was not wearing a seat belt and none of the children were restrained in any manner. The driver of the truck, an 18-year-old Prescott Valley man, and his passenger, sustained minor injuries. A specialist from the YCSO collision team is handling the investigation.
