A 61-year-old Pueblo man was killed in an apparent hit-and-run crash involving his motorcycle on Interstate 25 in Wyoming about 5 miles north of the Colorado state line.
Evidence indicates Jose D. Blea’s 1970 Honda motorcycle was hit from behind sometime early Friday morning. His body was discovered by a passing motorist at about 7 a.m. The crash could have happened anytime Thursday night or Friday morning, according to the Wyoming Highway Patrol.
“The collision caused the motorcycle and the rider to catapult off the right side of the roadway and down an embankment,” the highway patrol stated in a media release. “Blea came to rest approximately 30 feet east of the roadway and the motorcycle came to rest approximately 65 feet east of Blea.”
The crash is under investigation and the Wyoming Highway Patrol is requesting anyone with information to call 1-800-442-9090.
