DPS: Colorado man dies after being ejected from SUV in Donley County rollover crash

One person died in a rollover crash Monday afternoon in Donley County.

A 2011 Lincoln MKX SUV was traveling south at about 4:10 p.m. Sept. 2 on US 287 about seven miles northwest of Clarendon when, for an unknown reason, the driver lost control of the SUV, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.

DPS said the SUV traveled off the right edge of the roadway, entered a ditch, struck a road sign, traveled through a barbed wire fence, and rolled over at least two times.

The driver was not wearing a seat belt and, as a result, was ejected during the crash.

Samuel Houston, 30, of Basalt, Colorado, was pronounced dead at the scene by Donley County Justice of the Peace Pat White.

Road conditions were dry and clear, with a posted speed limit of 75 mph. The crash remains under investigation.
