ESPANOLA, N.M. (AP) — State police say an Albuquerque woman died when her motorcycle was struck by a pickup that pulled out in front of her on a road north of Espanola.
Eloise Armijo was riding south on State Road 68 Sunday afternoon just north of the city in Rio Arriba County when the pickup pulled in front of her and she hit the passenger side. The driver of the pickup fled the scene despite damage that included a shattered passenger side window.
The 53-year-old motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the hospital in Espanola. New Mexico State Police on Monday asked for the public's help locating the truck, which fled west on State Road 74. They say it is a newer model silver or grey GMC or Chevrolet pickup with tinted windows.
