Motorcycle crash victim Identified

SANTA TERESA, NM - New Mexico State police have released the identity of the motorcyclist killed yesterday in Santa Teresa as 24 year-old Francisco Zavala of Juarez.

They say Zavala was stopped at a red light at the intersection the Pete Domenici Highway and McNutt when he was rear ended by a Ford Explorer driven by a 23 year- old Canutillo man. Police haven’t released his identity but say they don’t believe alcohol was a factor in the crash, which is still under investigation.

Two other vehicles were damaged in the incident but no other injuries were reported. Zavala was thrown from the motorcycle and died at the scene.
