Sanders was later transferred by AirMed-1 helicopter to a San Angelo hospital.

Deputy Jason Chatham investigated the accident. He reports that Sanders lost control of the car before it slid off the roadway. Sanders reported the accident by phone but it took emergency crews several minutes to find her because her car was hidden by heavy brush. Sanders was cited for failure to control speed.                     — PHOTO BY KATHY MANKIN
