SAGUACHE COUNTY - The Alamosa Regional Communications Center received a 911 call at approximately 8:15 a.m. Aug. 1 concerning a vehicle and injured occupant that was located by a passerby. The crash was determined to have occurred at approximately 5 p.m. the previous day on Saguache County Road 14NN, 1.2 miles east of Saguache County Road 17FF.


An Air Life Helicopter assisted in locating the crash scene. Upon finding the scene, the helicopter transported the driver to a hospital out of the area for treatment. Investigation revealed the driver, 35 year old Salvador Bobadilla of Gunnison, was driving eastbound on County Road 14NN when his vehicle traveled off the left side of the road. Bobadilla overcorrected, sending his vehicle into a spin. The vehicle skidded off the right side of the roadway, down an embankment, rolling one time before coming to rest on its wheels.


Bobadilla is missing a dog that ran from the scene after the crash. We currently have no description of the dog. The investigation is ongoing.
