The original dispatch came in as a vehicle vs. motorcycle, but we could not see any vehicles involved and it appeared to be a single motorcycle crash.
UPDATE:
New Mexico State Police sent this release:
Albuquerque, NM – On April 14, 2023, at around 6:22 p.m., the New Mexico State Police investigated a fatal crash involving a motorcycle on Paseo Del Norte in Albuquerque, NM.
The initial investigation indicated that a 2005 Kawasaki motorcycle, ridden by Dylan Herzenberg (24) of Santa Fe was traveling eastbound on Paseo Del Norte, while merging onto Interstate 25 southbound. For reasons still under investigation, Mr. Herzneberg left the roadway and struck the guardrail of the ramp.

Speed appears to be a contributing factor in this crash.
