Pedestrian fatally struck by motorcycle overnight in NE ABQ
A pedestrian was fatally struck by a motorcycle after stopping on the road early Tuesday morning on Louisiana Boulevard south of Paseo Del Norte, according to the Albuquerque Police Department.
The Fatal Crash Unit responded just after midnight to reports of a fatal crash in the area of San Antonio Drive and Louisiana NE, APD Spokesman Chase Jewell said in a statement.
Jewell said it was discovered that the motorcycle driver and a passenger had been traveling eastbound on San Antonio NE and was just east of the Louisiana NE intersection when a man "ran into the roadway. He then turned and stopped in front of the motorcycle."
Jewell said the motorcycle — which had a green light and right of way — struck the man in the road. The man was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver and passenger were transported to the University of New Mexico Hospital with minor injuries, Jewell said.
He said next of kin have been notified, but no other details have been released at this time.
