According to Midland police, the cause of the eighth vehicle fatality in Midland this year is currently unknown. Special Operations Lt. Ray Leible said he does not believe speeding or alcohol was involved in the crash.
At 6:20 p.m., Midland police responded to the accident at the 6400 block of Highway 349, where Donald Gene Rowan, 61, was found to be deceased at the scene. Rowan was driving south on Highway 349 when he lost control of his car and struck a pipe fence, causing his 2001 Chevrolet Blazer to roll over one time, according to police. Rowan was wearing his safety belt, according to a press release by Ryan Stout, interim public information officer for the city.
Helicopters were on the scene taking aerial photographs of the accident.
“It’s sad,” Leible said. “Any fatality is one too many.”
Kendall Ross, a truck driver at the scene of the accident, said he saw a large cloud of dust after the crash occurred. When the dust settled, Ross said he could see the driver was not moving.
The accident investigation is ongoing and the next of kin have been notified, officials said."

"DAYTON —Capt. Barry Cron has been released from Miami Valley Hospital, a day after he was hit by a vehicle on U.S. 35.

Cron was admitted to the hospital after the Tuesday morning crash and he had been in serious condition.
Officials said the captain was speaking to a victim involved in a multiple vehicle crash on U.S. 35 when another vehicle lost control and slammed into the pileup. Police video shows Cron being thrown from the impact several feet from where he was standing.
Cron has been with the Dayton Fire Department since 1992 and was promoted to captain in November 2012, officials said. He works out of Station 13.
The crash, which occurred on U.S. 35 east near Gettysburg Avenue just before 5:30 a.m., created a pileup that involved 12 vehicles.
Another crash on U.S. 35 east near Abbey Avenue involved three vehicles. U.S. 35 was closed in both directions between Abbey Avenue and Liscum Drive while crews responded to the crashes and treated roads that had been made slick because of light snow overnight and snow melt that had frozen."

Rollover accident on Calhoun Road takes life.

Date: 03/31/2012
Time: Around 2:00 A.M.
Location: Magnolia, Arkansas
Vehicle(s) Involved: Chevy Blazer

By MagnoliaReporter.com

"A Magnolia man died Saturday from injuries sustained in an accident about 1:42 a.m.

(censored), 33, 816 S. Vine, was taken to Magnolia Regional Medical Center by Columbia County Ambulance Service. He was transferred to the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock but was pronounced dead at 7:17 a.m. Evidence at the scene suggested that Williams was driving a Chevrolet Blazer southbound when it left the roadway where the street curves sharply to the left near South Side Park. The vehicle hit a sign and overturned at least once in the yard of a home at 608 Calhoun Road.
The vehicle landed upright, coming to rest only a few feet from the house. There was heavy damage to the front left side of the Blazer. The roof of the driver’s area was compacted by the force of the roll.
Ironically, the accident was discovered and reported by Columbia County Coroner Randy Reed. Reed said he was returning from a trip to Houston when he drove by the scene. His initial impression was that the Blazer was parked at a strange angle next to the house. Reed turned around, drove back and took a closer look. He found that Williams had been ejected and was on the ground in a driveway between the Blazer and the house, hidden from view from the street. Williams was “in bad shape,” Reed said. The coroner called 911.
Magnolia Police, Columbia County Ambulance Service and Linkous Wrecker responded.
According to a preliminary report filed with Arkansas State Police, Williams was not wearing a seat belt. Sgt. Robert Philson of the Magnolia Police Department investigated the accident.
Williams’ death is Columbia County’s third fatal vehicle accident of 2012 and the second since last Saturday. There were 10 vehicle-related deaths in the county in 2011."

"A man is facing charges of impaired driving causing death in a crash that closed part of the Trans-Canada Highway east of Winnipeg on Friday.

Passenger dies in collision on Liberty Road.

Date: 09/19/2011
Time: Around 6:00 P.M.
Location: Lexington, Kentucky
Vehicle(s) Involved: Ford Escape, Chevy Blazer

By Greg Kocher — gkocher1@herald-leader.com

"One person died and another suffered possible life-threatening injuries in a two-vehicle crash Monday evening on Liberty Road that might have involved alcohol, Lexington police said.
The driver of a green Chevrolet Blazer headed west on Liberty Road lost control near a curve on Appletree Lane and crossed over the center line and into the path of an eastbound, silver Ford Escape, Lexington police Lt. Chris Van Brackel said. The Escape hit the passenger side of the Blazer about 6 p.m., he said.
A male passenger in the back seat was thrown into the very back of the Blazer, van Brackel said.
(Name) 54, of Lexington was pronounced dead at University of Kentucky Chandler Hospital at 6:41 p.m., according to a news release from the Fayette County coroner's office.
A female passenger in the Blazer's front seat was partially thrown out the driver's side door and was taken to UK with possible life-threatening injuries, Van Brackel said.
The two drivers also were taken to UK but did not appear to have life-threatening injuries, Van Brackel said.
Alcohol use by the driver of the Blazer is suspected, he said.
"I don't know if he was too fast for conditions or what caused him to lose control," Van Brackel said.
It appeared that no one in the Blazer was wearing a seat belt, he said, but the driver of the Escape, a 17-year-old boy, was wearing a seat belt.
The identities of those involved in the crash were not immediately available.
Several people in the neighborhood heard the collision and came out to help, Van Brackel said.
An accident reconstruction unit was called to the scene, and Liberty Road was shut down between Henry Clay Boulevard and Appletree for about five hours, he said.
Matthew Nichols, a Liberty Road resident, said the area has a high-volume of traffic.
"This is not the first time this has happened," he said. "It's supposed to be 35 mph through here ... but some people travel 55 through here.""
