Investigators say alcohol appears to be a factor in a Friday evening crash near Wallace.

According to a news release, deputies with the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to an accident at mile marker 44 on Highway 23, near the Perkins/Lincoln County line, at around 9:40 p.m.

It was reported that a vehicle had rolled, and the driver was injured.

Deputies identified the driver as 32-year-old Moses Salgado Gomez, of Wallace.

An investigation showed that Gomez was traveling westbound on Highway 23, when his vehicle drifted off the road toward that north.  Authorities say it appears Gomez over-corrected and traveled into the south ditch, causing his vehicle to roll.

Investigators don’t believe Gomez was wearing a seatbelt, and they say alcohol appears to be a factor in the crash.

Gomez was transported to Great Plains Health by Wallace Rescue for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.

Officials say charges may be filed, pending the results of a blood test.
