A Turn For the Worse

Golden Valley Fire and Rescue and Mohave County Sheriff's responded to the scene of a rolled over semi tractor-trailer at approximately 11:52 a.m. on June 29th. The truck owned by McKee Foods lost control while west bound on Shinarump Road. Two patients were transported to Kingman Regional Hospital for evaluation. Fire Chief Paul Hewitt stated the turn on Shinarump Road near Cococino Road has been the site of many accidents over the years. “Shinarump is deceiving in that it looks like you could safely drive at a higher speed until you enter a sharp turn such as this one and then it’s too late”. Captain Davy Cunningham stated that both victims were very fortunate to not have experienced more severe injuries.
