(Deming) – Two Deming residents were injured in a one-vehicle rollover accident Thursday afternoon near the intersection of the Old Lordsburg Highway and Hermanas Road.
Luna County Sheriff’s Deputy Tony Maravilla said 36-year-old William Cunningham was driving a 1999 Ford Explorer west on State Road 418 – or the Old Lordsburg Highway – at about 3:10 p.m. Thursday when he admitted falling asleep.
Maravilla said a witness reported seeing the Explorer roll several times before the vehicle came to rest on the passenger’s side.
Cunningham was transported to Mimbres Memorial Hospital for treatment of injuries he sustained in the accident, but his passenger, 57-year-old Beatrice Everett, was flown to El Paso with arm and head injuries.
Cunningham was cited for careless driving and no insurance.
