ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - Albuquerque police have closed southbound Interstate 25 at Jefferson Street NE as officers investigate a fatal crash.

Traffic is being diverted at Jefferson to Pan American Freeway NE, the I-25 frontage road.

The crash also has caused a slowdown on the northbound side of the freeway although no lanes are closed.

Police said a motorcyclist apparently lost control and swerved into a help truck that was assisting a motorist parked on the median shoulder.

The motorcyclist, whose name has not been released, died at the scene.

The crash happened about 3:45 p.m.

Shortly before 5 p.m. police said it could be at least two hours before the lanes reopen.
