ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - A stretch of Interstate 40 had to be shut down Saturday because of a horrible crash between a semi truck and a motorcycle.
A pair of motorcycles tried to merge from I-25 south, to I-40 westbound.
One of the motorcycles got pulled into the rear tires of a semi truck which then dragged the motorcyclist for a mile on the interstate.
The woman riding the motorcycle was killed.
Police say the semi-truck driver did not even know he was dragging the woman until other drivers were able to get his attention.
The victim's identity has still not been released.
