A Yuma physician has been identified as the victim of a fatal vehicle crash that took place early Monday morning. 75-year-old William Michael Shea, a longtime doctor at Hospice of Yuma, was struck while crossing S. James Drive at East 24th Street. Authorities say the driver, a 65-year-old woman, was turning onto James Road from 24th Street when the accident happened. Shea was rushed to Onvida Health, where he later died from his injuries. Hospice of Yuma shared their sadness over Dr. Shea's passing, calling him a beloved leader whose "dedication, compassion and leadership touched countless lives."
