Cane Beds, AZ (June 29, 2025) — A heartbreaking off-roading accident claimed the life of a young girl earlier this week in the rural community of Cane Beds, Arizona.
According to reports, Mohave County Sheriff’s Deputies were called out around 8 p.m. on June 25 after an off-road side-by-side vehicle overturned in a dirt field just four miles south of the Arizona-Utah border. Investigators say two girls were riding together when the driver began doing donuts. The 13-year-old passenger, who was reportedly hanging out of the vehicle, was crushed when it flipped over and landed on top of her.
Emergency crews from the Colorado City Fire Department responded, but the young girl was pronounced dead at the scene. The teen driver, unable to lift the vehicle off her friend, ran nearly a quarter-mile to find help due to lack of cell service in the remote area. Authorities confirmed neither the victim nor the driver was wearing a seatbelt when the side-by-side rolled over. The case has been forwarded to the Mohave County Attorney’s Office for potential charges as the investigation continues.
