(Deming) – A Columbus woman was injured in a one-vehicle rollover accident Wednesday morning.
63-year-old Margarita Garcia was driving a 2009 Ford Focus west through a construction zone on State Road 9 near mile-marker 83 when she lost control of her vehicle on the gravel.
Luna County Sheriff’s Captain Jose Martinez said the vehicle rolled over, landing on its top.
Garcia told deputies that she swerved to miss an oncoming semi-truck that appeared to be crossing into her lane, over-corrected and lost control of her car.
She was transported to Mimbres Memorial Hospital by Columbus EMS with head injuries.
The New Mexico Transportation Department is working on Highway 9, and this is the second rollover accident within a three-mile range in just over a week.
