Monday morning's commute took a dangerous turn after a collision on the 5100 block of N. Mesa Street involving a motorcycle and two cars, leaving law enforcement seeking answers and the community rattled. The El Paso Police Department's Special Traffic Investigations unit responded to the scene where a Hyundai Sonata, which was reported to be making a U-turn, collided with the motorcycle traveling in the opposite direction. In addition to these two vehicles, a dark-colored sedan implicated in the incident had fled the scene, prompting a search for further information and witnesses.
As El Paso Police Department details, the initial investigation suggests the Hyundai Sonata was northbound when it executed the U-turn on N. Mesa Street, cutting into the path of the southbound motorcycle, leading to both vehicles' involvement in a midmorning confrontation of steel and speed, meanwhile, the whereabouts and the identity of the driver behind the wheel of the dark sedan that fled the scene remains an ominous question mark over the case.
The El Paso Police are now turning to the community for assistance in piecing together this jigsaw of an accident. They urge anyone with knowledge about the collision or the elusive dark-colored sedan to come forward. Individuals with information can contact the El Paso Police Department at 915-832-4400 or anonymously provide tips to Crime Stoppers of El Paso at 915-566-8477 (TIPS); this could prove crucial in grounding the investigation that, as of now, stretches into possibility and speculation.
