Waller said Dakota Myers died at the scene about 4 p.m. He was a passenger in a pickup truck driven by his 19-year-old brother, Kenneth Myers Jr. Kenneth Myers and his sister, Destanee Myers, 4, also a passenger in the truck, were taken to Plains Regional Medical Center for treatment of undisclosed injuries. Waller said the driver told officers they were northbound on N.M. 268 on their way to Tucumcari to pick up a relative when he swerved to avoid a deer. Waller said the truck left the highway when the driver over-corrected and the truck rolled over. The crash remains under investigation, Waller said.
