New Mexico Motorcycle Crash Claims Two

On Sunday June 27, 2010 multiple motorcycle crashes in Albuquerque occurred, causing two fatalities. Police say that two people died just after midnight in a motorcycle accident in Northeast Albuquerque near Morris and Osuna.

The early morning motorcycle crash resulted in the deaths of the 22-year-old driver, Billy Tharpe, and his passenger, 23-year-old Joshua Folse. Albuquerque police say the motorcycle was traveling north on Morris and hit a curb while turning at Osuna. The motorcycle lost control and hit a wall, killing the driver at the scene. The passenger was transported to a hospital, where he later died from his injuries.

Police are still investigating this crash, but they believe that speed was a factor, and that neither person was wearing a helmet.

That same day at approximately 11:00 a.m., another New Mexico motorcycle accident occurred involving a fire truck. The crash occurred near Sedillo Hill, east of Tijeras Canyon. Bernalillo Police say a motorcycle hit a fire truck after the fire truck took an emergency call and made a fast U-turn on a two-lane highway. 

Authorities indicated the motorcycle was speeding and the fire truck made a fast maneuver. Both the driver and passenger of the motorcycle were injured and were taken to the hospital. Their conditions have not been released at this time.

Our thoughts are with those who have lost a family member or friend in these tragic accidents.
