coues Report post Posted August 29, 2011 My wife was trailering our horses up on the 26th and came upon a terrible accident at the Sedona exit. The driver (dad) was in full camo so we assume he was a fellow bowhunter. They rolled their small SUV containing mom and 5 kids. She had to witness them recover the body of a 5 year old boy and the extrication of the wife/mom in grave condition. We're praying for this family. Anyone know who they are?

TwoGuns Report post Posted August 30, 2011 My wife and I and kids live in camp verde and everyone knows the family here. Both parents used to work in the school system and I believe went through the school system here. It was rough in church on Sunday. A lot of the kids in the Sunday school class I teach were real shook up as they were all friends. I couldn't imagine burying my 8 year old son. I will always be sure to keep buckles on. Hope we all do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
