dang... that's not a good way to start off the holidays :(

here is the update and the victims from this tragic accident--

CROWN KING - The Yavapai County Sheriff's Office has confirmed that four men are dead after a vehicle drives off a cliff just six miles south of Crown King, Ariz. Wednesday afternoon.

YCSO says four people were inside a Chevy SUV that went off-road about 1:30 p.m. The vehicle was traveling on Cow Creek Rd and fell about 100 feet before coming to a rest.

The four victims were members of a church group. Their identities will be released once their families are notified.

It took several hours for personnel to get to the accident scene, because the terrain is rocky and mountainous. Crews are now working to remove the bodies and get them to the medical examiner's office.

"This is still very fresh for them, and they're determining the logistics of getting the bodies up the hill and out of this area. That may not even happen tonight, they may secure the scene and finish the work at daybreak tomorrow," says YCSO's Dwight Develyn.

The cause of the accident is under investigation

The victims were: Glendale resident Kevin Waycaster, 47, and his 16-year-old son, Micah; Garry Schneider, 67, of Phoenix; and Robert "Bob" Fisher, a Phoenix man in his 70s.

The men, from various unidentified church groups, were traveling to a men's retreat in the area when their Chevrolet SUV veered off the side of the road, falling about 100 feet, according to the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office.

An investigation is ongoing.
