A Paonia man was killed yesterday in a rollover accident near Cimarron.
John M. Egger, 86, was driving a maroon 1991 Ford Explorer east on Forest Road 858 about noon, the Colorado State Patrol said in a news release.
Egger was 16.2 miles west of Colorado 50 near Silver Jack Reservoir when he overcorrected after veering off the right side of the road. The Explorer rolled six times down a steep embankment, the release said, ejecting Egger.
He was killed.
His passenger, 86-year-old Edna Overton of Paonia, was taken to St. Mary’s Hospital in Grand Junction with moderate injuries.
