One person reportedly died and another was seriously injured following a rollover crash early Saturday morning on Highway 71 north of Kimball. The crash reportedly occurred around 5 a.m. on October 3rd, approximately 10 miles north of town. A single vehicle reportedly rolled approximately seven times with two people inside. AirLink responded to the scene with a full trauma team requested for a 77-year-old male driver. Initial information indicated the driver may have experienced a seizure before the crash. Friends of the family report that 77-year-old Rufus Garza later died from his injuries sustained in the crash. His wife Cindy, also in the vehicle, remains in intensive care. The circumstances surrounding the crash and the identities of those involved have not been independently confirmed by Panhandle Scanner. This information comes through friends of family.
