On Thursday, November 3rd, 2022, at approximately 1:16 a.m., Prescott Police Officers responded to a single vehicle collision near the intersection of White Spar Road and Cheery Street.
Through the course of the investigation, it was determined that a 2015 Nissan Altima was travelling southbound on White Spar Road when the driver lost control of the vehicle and collided with a retaining wall. The driver, a 31-year-old Prescott Valley resident, was ejected from the vehicle. Tragically, the driver sustained fatal injuries and he was pronounced deceased at the scene.
A passenger in the vehicle, a 25-year-old Prescott Valley resident, sustained serious non-life-threatening injuries. He was treated on scene and later ground transported to a Phoenix area hospital for further care.
Traffic on White Spar Rd was detoured for several hours while emergency personnel rendered aid and so members of the Prescott Police Traffic Safety Section could investigate the collision.
This collision is still under investigation; however, speed does appear to be a factor. The Prescott Police Department is seeking additional witnesses and asks for anyone with information about this incident to contact Officer Bray at 928-777-1943.
