ALBUQUERQUE – Kirtland Air Force Base says airmen were involved in a possible street-racing crash in Albuquerque that left a pedestrian dead.
KOAT-TV reported Monday that base officials confirmed that four airmen were inside a vehicle involved in the collision that fatally injured a woman.
Messages left with the base were not immediately returned.
Police say the vehicle hit the woman while she was crossing the street Saturday night before crashing into an apartment building.
Authorities say three of the four men in the car, including the driver, were hospitalized in stable condition.
The fourth person was questioned by police.
Police spokesman Simon Drobik says investigators will have to reconstruct the accident scene before they determine whether it stemmed from drag racing.
The woman’s name has not been released.
