Sunday morning, Mar. 31, 2024, at about 1:51a.m., a Silver City Police Department officer observed a grey Chrysler van on the 32nd Street Bypass travelling 78 mph in the 35 mph zone. According to an SCPD incident report, reaching Highway 180 the van turned east, and after a delay, pulled to the side of the road near the intersection of Shasta Street.
