EDDY COUNTY, N.M. — One person is dead after a crash in Eddy County.
The incident occurred on July 19. Eddy County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to a vehicle rollover on US Highway 62/180 near mile post 47.
The initial investigation revealed that a 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe was traveling eastbound when it hit the center median. The driver of the vehicle tried to get back onto the road, which lead to the vehicle overcorrecting, causing it to rollover in a clockwise motion.
The driver of the vehicle was identified as 27-year-old Eric L. Carrasco of Carlsbad, New Mexico. Carrasco was ejected from the Tahoe and pronounced dead at the scene.
We will continue to update this story as we receive more information, and the investigation is still ongoing.
