Two N.M. teens die on U.S. Highway 50
DELTA — Two New Mexico teenagers were killed and two other people were injured in a car crash near Delta on Wednesday.
The teen boys, ages 14 and 15, were killed when they were thrown from the backseat of a silver Kia sports-utility vehicle near mile marker 65 on U.S. Highway 50, said Colorado State Patrol Sgt. Scott Gardner.
Neither boy was wearing his seat belt.
The names are being withheld until authorities notify next of kin, Gardner said.
The SUV’s driver, a 17-year-old boy from Los Lunas, N.M., and its front-seat passenger, a 34-year-old man, were taken to Delta County Memorial Hospital with broken bones and internal bleeding, Gardner said.
The two in the front seat were wearing their seat belts, Gardner said.
