Highway 89 Open After A Multi-Vehicle Crash South Of Cameron
Highway 89 was closed for most of Wednesday between Flagstaff and Page, just south of Cameron, for a multi-vehicle accident. DPS officials say the accident happened just after noon Wednesday after three-vehicles collided. A black Dodge Journey was heading northbound on Highway 89, four miles south of Gray Mountain. The Journey crossed the double yellow lines and collided with a Penske moving truck and another pickup truck heading southbound. Two people in the southbound vehicles were seriously injured and were transported to Flagstaff Medical Center. The driver, 25-year-old Joshua James Burbank from Chinle, was arrested at the scene. He has been booked into the Coconino County Jail in Flagstaff on charges of aggravated assault and DUI.
We drove through minutes afterwards after several vehicles pulled over to help. Transmission laying in northbound lane and radiator and fan assembly in southbound lane. I’m glad there were no fatalities but am sorry someone was hurt.
