LOS LUNAS, N.M. (KRQE) - Interstate 25 is open again after being closed most of Saturday morning between Belen and Los Lunas as police investigated a fatal crash.

Los Lunas police report the crash involved a Ford F-150 pickup truck that rolled in the median at about 3:20 a.m. killing the male driver.

A female passenger was injured and taken by ambulance to a hospital for treatment.

The names of the man and woman have not yet been released.

The interstate reopened about 11:30 a.m.

According to Los Lunas police, the truck was headed north on I-25 when the driver entered the dirt median and overcorrected while trying to steer back onto pavement.  The truck skidded and then rolled.

The crash happened between mile markers 21 and 202 about a mile south of the Los Lunas exit.
