Three Die, Two Others Sent To Hospital In El Paso Accident

Three people have died and two have been injured in a single-vehicle rollover accident on a private road in far East El Paso.

The El Paso County Sheriff's Office says the incident occurred around 6 p.m. Saturday when a pickup traveling westbound failed to turn at a curve and drove over an embankment, causing the truck to roll.

The El Paso Times reports that 66-year-old Johnny Borrego and 59-year-old Ivan Guerrero died at the scene, while 58-year-old Ruben Betancourt Ramirez died at a local hospital.

Two people were also taken to the hospital. Officials say 71-year-old Jose Gabino Garcia is in critical condition and that 57-year-old Humberto Muela is in stable condition.

An investigation into the accident is ongoing.
