Officer Cherie Klavitter, spokesperson for the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS), said that at 10:47 p.m. officers investigated a one-vehicle collision at milepost 18.

“The vehicle involved was a white pick-up truck that left the roadway for unknown reasons,” Klavitter said two days after the accident.

Official word

Lt. Steve Harrison said that DPS contacted the registered owner who told officers that he last saw his pick-up at 4 p.m. and was not aware it was missing.

"The driver at this point remains unknown," said Harrison.

In addition to DPS, emergency personnel from Patagonia Volunteer Search and Rescue also responded to the accident.
