The Sedona Police Department has reported a pedestrian fatality. The accident happened Nov. 15 at 5:45 p.m. at Jordan and Capitol Butte roads in Uptown. The pedestrian, Dominick Morley, was reportedly walking down the middle of Jordan Road.
“The pedestrian was wearing dark clothing and was not carrying or wearing lights,” SPD Lt. Stephanie Foley said. “The driver told police he was not able to see the roadway briefly because of the headlights of a vehicle passing in the opposite direction.”
Morley was airlifted to Flagstaff Medical Center. He died five days later. At the time of the accident, police administered field sobriety tests at the scene and did not observe signs of impairment. The driver submitted a blood sample for testing by the Arizona Department of Public Safety.
No citations were issued at the scene; the investigation remains ongoing, pending blood test results from DPS.
This was Sedona’s first pedestrian-vehicle fatality in 13 years.
