NCSO says during the course of the investigation, a search warrant was obtained for a blood sample from Williamson after deputies suspected impairment.

The presence of impairing substances was found in Williamson's system after being tested, the sheriff's office says.

The case has been submitted to the Navajo County Attorney's Office for prosecution.

The crash was the second deadly crash involving Timber Mesa firefighters in a matter of weeks.

In September, firefighters Brenna Kulikowski and Damon Thompson were killed when a vehicle crossed the center line on State Route 260 between Heber-Overgaard and Show Low, hitting their ambulance head-on, killing both.
