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.

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.

How inanely insensitive! This mother is not only suffering extensive physical damage, but has lost one of her daughters, and two of her daughters ended up in the hospital with her. Not knowing what will happen with her other two girls, she has to now deal with deep emotional wounds that will stay with her for the rest of her life. No matter what the law might want to do to punish her, nothing will compare with what she is already suffering. Right now what she needs is compassion from her "
R Marquez wrote on Mar 5, 2008 11:19 PM:
In such a tragic situation, how dare anyone insult such a wonderful mother. She is suffering enough without the two of you being so unchristian-like. Let's just hope you will never endure anything similar. May the Lord keep you and your loved ones from experienciing any tragedy. Why didn't you both come out of the shadows instead of being anonymous?
To the Machado family. I know the wonder of you because I personally know you and what a wonderful family you are and how special you were raised. My love, thoughts and prayers are with you. "
