On Thursday, Sept. 19, around 2:45 p.m., Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office deputies were dispatched to a single vehicle roll over on Beaverhead Flat Road, about a mile and one-half north of Cornville Road. 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. Walls was a 2002 graduate of Sedona Red Rock High School. YCSO’s Collision Investigation Team is handling the investiga­tion to determine the cause based on evidence and any witness statements. Beaverhead Flat Road was closed for 3.5 hours.
