Pick-up truck roll over on Highway 93

On Saturday July 3 at 9:06 a.m. units from four agencies responded to a pick-up truck rollover at mile post 50 in the south bound lane of highway 93. DPS, Mohave Ranchos, Golden Valley and the Northern Arizona Fire Districts responded to assist five patients injured in the accident. Fire Chief Paul Hewitt of the Golden Valley Fire Department states possibly three of the five passengers were ejected from the vehicle as it rolled. The other two victims were extricated from the wreckage. Two females ages 3 and 26 were flown to Sunrise Medical Center in Las Vegas with critical injuries. Two adult males and a 5 year old boy were transported via ground ambulance to Kingman Regional. Chief Hewitt: “All agencies worked well together performing a quick triage and rapid transport of the accident victims”. All agencies involved remind parents of the importance of properly restraining children in vehicles. The family was from the Las Vegas area.
