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.
