The vehicle became airborne over Murray and then rolled through a business parking lot. The front-seat passenger, 65-year-old Roger Olguin Sr., was ejected from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the car, 39-year-old Desiree Olguin, was also ejected from the car. She was transported by paramedics to San Juan Regional Medical Center and eventually to UNMH in Albuquerque, where she is being treated. Speed is suspected to be a factor in the crash.
