HOBBS, New Mexico — A Rexburg man was among two people killed in a crash Saturday morning on U.S. 62/180 near Hobbs, New Mexico.

Alan Knight, 31, of Rexburg and Andrew Beatty, 29, of Carlsbad, New Mexico, were driving at a “high rate of speed” when their 2008 Chevy Impala left the road around 7 a.m. and rolled, according to a news release from New Mexico State Police. Both Knight and Beatty were ejected from the car and pronounced dead on the scene.

Police do not believe alcohol played a factor in the crash and say seatbelts did not appear to have been properly used.

No one else was involved in the crash.
