CARNUEL, N.M. (AP) - A Bernalillo County sheriff's department spokesman has identified two women killed in a two-car collision on Interstate 40 east of Albuquerque.
Lt. David Knowles said Thursday 56-year-old Katherine Cullen of Santa Fe and 56-year-old Judith Bjorkman of Edgewood died in the crash.
Cullen was driving a jeep east in the highway's westbound lanes when it collided head-on with a sports-utility vehicle driven by Bjorkman. Both women died on the scene.
Knowles says a 2-year-old child in Bjorkman's vehicle who was injured has been released from an Albuquerque hospital. He says the toddler was in a car seat.
Knowles says investigators are trying to determine what caused Cullen to drive the wrong way on the highway. He says neither drugs nor alcohol was a factor.
