According to the Gila County Sheriff’s Office, the rollover crash happened shortly after 9:00 p.m. on Doll Baby Ranch Road.
 
GCSO said 33-year-old Aaron Potten, of Strawberry, drove a modified older model off-road vehicle and Hernandez was the front passenger. Then Potten allegedly lost control and rolled over on Doll Baby Ranch Road.
 
Neither Hernandez nor Potten wore a seatbelt. The incident ejected Hernandez at about 40 feet from the vehicle.
