Asa Graham and Valery Blood Killed, Braisy Blood Hurt in Flagstaff Crash

 
FLAGSTAFF, AZ (June 23, 2020) — A two-vehicle accident on Highway 89 near Milepost 450 Friday afternoon tragically claimed two lives.
 
According to Highway Patrol public information officer Bart Graves, the incident happened around 4:00 p.m. Authorities responded to reports of a two-car crash just 30 miles north of Flagstaff.
 
Investigators determined that 21-year-old Henderson, Nev., resident Asa Graham was at the wheel of a Chevrolet Malibu heading southbound on the highway.
 
For unknown reasons, she veered over the center line. As a result, she struck a northbound Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck.
 
The brute force of the impact killed Graham, as well as 45-year-old Valery Blood — a passenger in the Chevrolet Silverado.
 
Paramedics transported the 23-year-old Durango man driving the Chevrolet and his 16-year-old female passenger to a local hospital with serious injuries.
 
A GoFundMe page created for Valery confirmed that Braisy Blood was the 16-year-old Chevrolet passenger, who sustained major injuries in the accident. She faces a long road to recovery ahead.
 
Authorities have yet to uncover more details related to the accident. So far, they have determined that Graham had used a shoulder and lap belt. In addition, the Silverado driver used his lap belt while Braisy wore a shoulder and lap belt. However, Valery neglected to properly wear the shoulder portion of her seatbelt.
