ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Albuquerque police say they can’t identify a woman found dead on Interstate 40 last week and think she might have been the victim of a hit-and-run accident.
The woman’s body was spotted March 29 on westbound I-40 between Juan Tabo and Tramway boulevards at about 3:30 a.m.
Officer Fred Duran says investigators are seeking information from residents or travelers about what happened but believe she was struck by a large truck or SUV.
The woman wasn’t carrying identification and Duran says fingerprints and dental records haven’t identified her.
She’s described as white, in her 20s, 5-foot-6 and 130 pounds with hazel eyes and brown hair. She was last wearing a gray short-sleeve t-shirt, blue jeans and yellow shoes. She also had a black, fur-lined London Fog jacket.
