The El Paso local officials have identified the motorcycle rider who died in a fatal motorcycle accident on Interstate 10 East, Friday midnight.
At around 12:50 a.m., police received a call reporting a car accident involving a motorcycle. According to reports, a motorcycle was seen traveling along I-10 East when, for reasons that had not been determined, it crashed into the center median, ejecting him in the process. As the rider tries to exit the highway, he was then struck by a passing Nissan Altima.
The rider, identified as 26-year-old Abram Vega, sustained life-threatening injuries from the impact of the collision. He was pronounced dead by emergency crews who responded to the scene.
No other injuries were reported.
Investigators were requested to determine the circumstances leading up to the incident.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of the deceased victim. We strongly believe that the El Paso police will do everything to bring those responsible to justice.
According to the National Highway Traffic Administration (NHTSA), car accidents happen almost every minute of every day, and for every 16 minutes, a car accident occurs that results in death. That is roughly about 6 million car accidents every year and 90 people dying in car accidents every day in the U.S. alone. Driving while distracted, under the influence of alcohol, and at an unsafe speed are three most common causes of car accidents.
