An Albuquerque woman died after she lost control of her vehicle and it rolled several times down an embankment.

Santa Fe County Sheriff Greg Solano says 34-year-old Tanya Gilliam had been driving northbound on State Road 599 (Monday) about two miles from Interstate 25 when the accident occurred.

Solano says Gilliam wasn't wearing a seat belt.

Gilliam's father -- Richard Gilliam -- says his daughter was well-known in the Santa Fe deaf community. He says she had degrees in deaf studies and clinical psychology.

I am sorry to hear that Tanya Gilliam who I don't know her has pass away because of the accident, as I have been away from New Mexico for over thirteen Years. There were a lot of deaf people in the Deaf communities in both Santa Fe and Albuquerque. Santa Fe has a deaf school. My hearing sister lives in Santa Fe and I used to live in Albuquerque and always involve with the Deaf community and went to Catholic church with the interpreter mass. I only went up to Santa Fe for special events or go shopping, and somtimes visit the Deaf school. Santa Fe is very crowded and so is Albuquerque. I don't know much about the highway and the interstate that is going on in Santa Fe. I did not know that she was very popular with the Deaf communities in Santa Fe. I am surprise that she did not wear her seat belt which is require by law. Somtimes in New Mexico it is not recommend to have a seat belt.
