Maestas was not wearing his seat belt at the time of the crash and remained in the cab of the SUV during the rollover. Maestas was taken by ground ambulance to Weston County Hospital in Newcastle where he succumbed to his injuries. Holland, who was buckled in, and the other two occupants of the SUV were transported by ground ambulance to Weston County Hospital for their injuries. The other two passengers were identified as Mark Gladue, 32, whose seat belt was in use, and Sandra Duclo, 56, whose seat belt was not in use. Both Gladue and Duclo are also from Newcastle.
