HOBBS, N.M. (AP) - New Mexico State Police say two men have been killed after a rollover accident west of Hobbs.
They say the crash occurred around 7 a.m. Saturday and 29-year-old Andrew Beatty of Carlsbad, New Mexico, and 31-year-old Alan Knight of Rexburg, Idaho, were declared dead at the scene.
State Police say the men were riding in a vehicle on U.S. 62/180 at a high rate of speed before it left the highway and rolled.
They say both Beatty and Knight were ejected from the vehicle.
State Police say alcohol isn’t believed to be a factor in the crash, but seatbelts don’t appear to have been properly used.
