A single-vehicle rollover on McClure Pass Feb. 7 injured three. The accident occurred at mile post 40 at about 9:15 a.m.

Robert Cervantes-Fuerte, 25, of Glenwood Springs was driving a 2002 GMC Sierra pickup. He was not wearing a seat belt and was injured during the roll sequence.

Two passengers, a 37-year-old male and a 24-year-old male, sustained minor injuries. They were wearing their seat belts.

According to the Colorado State Patrol, Cervantes-Fuerte was traveling west on Highway 133. He entered a curvy section of road and lost control, rotating counter-clockwise and traveling off the left side of the road and down a steep embankment. The pickup rolled three times approximately 250 feet downhill. It came to rest on its wheels facing north.
