Injured in the accident was Callis' fiancee, Kathy Clendenen, 19, also for Las Vegas. Clendenen was airlifted by the DPA Ranger helicopter to St. Joseph's Hospital in Phoenix where she was held for observation and released on Sunday. Initial reports stated that Clendenen sustained head and back injuries. Eaverson said Oldfield was not injured and had been wearing seatbelts at the time of the accident. Both vehicles sustained extensive damage, Rheaume reported.
