A man riding a moped (a lightweight, two-wheeled vehicle equipped with a small motor, typically 50cc or less) died Saturday afternoon. The collision happened at the area of Zuni Road and San Pablo Street, according to police reports.

According to investigation, the driver was found traveling southbound on San Pablo Street approaching the intersection at Zuni Road SE. Then, a 2007 Honda Sedan was travelling westbound on Zuni Road approaching San Pablo Street.

The moped entered the intersection against a red light at a high rate of speed. The Honda attempted to hit their breaks, but failed to do so.

The driver of the moped, who was not wearing a helmet, sustained significant injuries and was taken to University of New Mexico Hospital and was later proclaimed dead.

This goes to our motorist to remain vigilant on road and adhere to the traffic protocols implemented.

The investigation is still on-going and further updates will be posted soon.
