The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says alcohol may be to blame for a one vehicle accident over the weekend in Roger Mills County.
OHP says the accident took place at 10:27 p.m. Saturday night on US-283, five miles north of Cheyenne when the 2013 Toyota Corolla driven by 47-year-old Hermes Machado-Medina of Austin, Texas departed the road to the left while traveling northbound. The vehicle would strike a fence before going into a ditch. OHP says the vehicle rolled two times and sometime during the roll a passenger, 24-year-old Rosi Crystal Bello, also of Austin, Texas, was ejected.
OHP says the passenger was taken to Roger Mills Memorial Hospital in Cheyenne where she was admitted with injuries to lower extremities and her head. She was last listed to be in stable condition.
The driver, Machado-Medina, was also taken to Roger Mills Memorial and admitted with head injuries, also last listed to be in stable condition.
OHP listed the condition of the driver to being “odor of alcohol” and listed the cause of the collision as “unsafe speed on a curve”.
