Troopers say that except for the 17-year-old, everyone in the pickup was thrown out when it rolled. A one-year-old child was pronounced dead at the scene by the Baca County Coroner. Everyone else was taken to the hospital with moderate to serious injuries. The two adults and three of the children were taken by Flight-For-Life to Denver area hospitals. None of the occupants were wearing seat belts or in proper child restraints.
