Apparently she driving was one of the cars that hit the man after he initially was struck on the road.
New Mexican crime reporter Geoff Grammer has the story HERE.
Duran issued a statement this morning:
My thoughts and prayers are with the family of the victim who lost his life Thursday evening on Highway 599 and Camino La Tierra.
This past evening at approximately 7:30 while driving home from work, my car was apparently one of multiple vehicles to pass over what appeared to be an animal that had been struck in the middle of the right lane of Highway 599.
We later learned that what I believed to have been an animal was in fact the body of someone who had been hit a few minutes before while crossing the highway.
I am sure other drivers have been just as shocked and saddened as I have been to learn what had actually taken place in this tragedy. My thoughts and prayers are with the family for this tragic loss of life.
Police Capt. Aric Wheeler told Grammer, "We aren't sure how many vehicles may have hit the man or maybe drove through the scene collecting evidence without even realizing it."
UPDATE 3:45 pm: Geoff Grammer has more details on The New Mexican site.
