Sedona woman killed in rollover on Beaverhead Flat Road

Published:

On Thursday, Sept. 19, around 2:45 p.m, Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office deputies were dispatched to a single-vehicle rollover on Beaverhead Flat Road, about a mile and one-half north of Cornville Road between Cornville and the Village of Oak Creek..

The driver, 34-year-old Nicole Walls from Sedona, had been ejected from a 2005 Chevrolet SUV and was pronounced deceased at the scene.

Very preliminary indications are that Walls may have over corrected during turning movements causing the vehicle to leave the roadway and roll multiple times. Walls was reportedly not wearing a seat belt.

YCSO’s Collision Investigation Team will be handling the investigation to determine the cause based on evidence and any witness statements.
