Luna County Sheriff’s Captain Michael Brown said 28-year-old Cassandra Rodriguez was transported with head and neck injuries after the 2004 Volkswagen she was driving rolled over.
The accident occurred Saturday night just before midnight as Rodriguez was travelling eastbound near mile marker 1 on Hwy 418 or the Old Lordsburg Hwy.
Rodriguez reportedly told deputies she was speeding, swerved to avoid cattle in the roadway, and simultaneously hit a dip in the roadway – the combination of which caused her to lose control of her vehicle.
Brown said no citations have been issued pending further investigation.
