WARDEN — An Othello man died Saturday in a one-vehicle collision three miles south of Warden, according to Grant County Sheriff’s Office press release.
Faustino N. Gonzalez, 52, was driving a 2011 Nissan Frontier pickup north on Road U Southeast when he failed to negotiate a curve, overcorrected, crossed both lanes and left the road to the west, the GCSO release said. The pickup rolled three times.
Gonzales was not wearing a seatbelt and was ejected; he died at the scene.
The GCSO release said speed and driving under the influence of alcohol may have contributed to the collision. However, the Sheriff’s Motor Traffic Unit is still investigating.
The cooperating agencies were Multi-Agency Communications Center, Grant County Fire District 4, LifeLine Ambulance, Grant County Coroner's Office and Grant County Sheriff’s Office.
