Douglas girl dies, mother and two daughters hospitalized from rollover accident

A Douglas teen died Friday afternoon and her mother and two younger sisters were hospitalized following a one-vehicle rollover one mile east of Columbus, New Mexico.


Fourteen-year-old Kassandra Machado died when the vehicle she was a passenger in rolled over several times on a state highway in New Mexico.

Xenia Gonzales, 34, was traveling eastbound on State Road  9 with her three daughters: Kassandra Machado, 14; Alexia Machado, 4; and Ariana Machado, 10.

Gonzales was unable to clear a curve on the road. The vehicle skidded and over turned several times, said Rick Anglada, the public information officer for the New Mexico Department of Public Safety.

Kassandra was pronounced dead on the scene. She was wearing a seat belt on her lap; however, she had positioned the shoulder harness behind her shoulder, thus rendering it unsafe.

She was partially ejected and suffered fatal head injuries in the crash.

Alexia and Ariana were ejected from the vehicle during the crash. They were not wearing seat belts, Anglada said.

Gonzales and Alexia were air evacuated to Thomason Hospital in El Paso.

Ariana was in stable condition and was transported by ground ambulance to Mimbres Hospital in Deming, New Mexico.

Police determined that Gonzales was traveling 80 or 90 MPH when she approached the curve on State Road 9, mile marker 69.

The recommended speed of the curve is posted at 30 MPH, Anglada said.

We all make mistakes in this imperfect world, but the ignorant ones are the people who are quick to judge and point the finger, as if they are perfect. You are the ones that will be judged in the end. I thank God that He has sent Jesus to take the punishment for all of our mistakes! Because of Him, we can have hope, peace, and strength to endure this earthly life, and afterward live with Him, if only we will Believe. "
