Two people were killed in a single car rollover in northern New Mexico Tuesday afternoon.

State police identify the victims as Joe Valdez, 45, of Dulce and Charlene Gonzales, 38, of Albuquerque.

Officers responded to the crash on State Road 112 just after 4:00 p.m. Police say Valdez' Ford Ranger drifted off the road and crossed back into eastbound lanes causing the truck and the trailer it was towing to jackknife.

Valdez, Gonzales, and a third occupant in the vehicle, 49-year-old Anthony Montoya, were all ejected. Montoya was transported to Espanola Valley Medical Center for treatment.

Police say alcohol was a factor in the crash.
