Verde Valley Fire District responded to a motor vehicle accident at the intersection of State Route 260 and Western Drive on Friday morning.
VVFD was dispatched to a motor vehicle accident blocking the Eastbound lanes of SR 260. Upon arrival, crews found a vehicle with heavy damage to the front end, and one occupant out of the vehicle sitting on the sidewalk.
The occupant had minor injuries and was evaluated by paramedics but did not need to be transported to a hospital. Cottonwood Fire and Medical Department, Yavapai County Sherrif’s Office and the Department of Public Safety also responded to the scene.
VVFD would like to remind people about the importance of wearing seatbelts. The outcome of this accident would have been much worse if the occupant of the vehicle was not wearing their seatbelt.
For any questions contact VVFD by calling 928-634-2578 or Fire Chief Nazih Hazime at 928-634-4865.
