On Thursday morning, a woman was left in a hospital after a car flipped over in a crash near the US-Mexico border.
The preliminary reports showed that the vehicle, a silver Buick Encore, came to a stop on its side in a border parking lot, across Sonoita Avenue from Burger King. The woman was the sole occupant of the car, and she was rushed to Holy Cross Hospital by the Nogales Fire Department and later airlifted to University Medical Center in Tucson, according to NFD Chief Jeff Sargent.
As per the initial information, the woman was freed from the vehicle by NFD and Nogales Police Department personnel. She came out through the area of the windshield, which was broken due to the collision, and she was reportedly standing on her own.
An eyewitness said that the driver seemingly lost control of the car while heading toward downtown Nogales on I-19 and reaching the point in the roadway where it takes a 90-degree turn north and turns into Sonoita Avenue. The tires screeched as the vehicle went off the roadway and entered the parking lot, where it struck a post before it landed on the northern edge of the lot. No other details are available.
The crash remains under active review.
