There were two adult male occupants in the vehicle and both were ejected as the truck rolled. Right now, it is not known which male occupant was the driver. There is no evidence of impairment at this time. Killed in the rollover were Shaun L. Begay, 31, of Tuba City, Arizona and Sherman Begay, 29, also of Tuba City, Arizona.
