Two-vehicle accident near the Border Store north of Fredonia

Just after 1 p.m. on Tues­day, July 22, traffic was halted due to a two-vehicle collision on Highway 89A between Fredonia and Kanab. Local fire and po­lice responded to the scene and began diverting traffic, pending ambulance and tow truck response.

Emergency Medical Re­sponse was dispatched from Kane County Hospital, with some locals expressing concern over jurisdiction questions regarding the Certificate of Need dispute between Arizona’s Depart­ment of Health and Kane County medical services.

While some eyewitnesses stated the individuals in­volved in the crash sus­tained only minor injuries, emergency responders did not confirm the status of the drivers and passengers at the time of writing.
