A Lubbock man lost his life last Monday, March 11, in a single car accident south of Clarendon on Hwy. 70.
Department of Public Safety Trooper Lynn Mays said 27-year-old Gabriel Garcia was southbound when his 2004 Lincoln Navigator went onto the right shoulder. He jerked left, spinning his vehicle so that it faced north, and the vehicle then rolled off the east side of the road before coming to rest on its wheels.
The time of the wreck is estimated to be about 9 p.m. in very foggy conditions. Rain fell at the accident scene later, and the wreckage was not discovered until about 7 a.m. the next morning by a passing motorist.
Garcia was not wearing a seatbelt and was dead on the scene, and Mays says alcohol is suspected as being involved in the accident.
