Press Release: New Mexico Department of Safety

Nara Visa—Kevin Butler of Jennings, Oklahoma, has died in a crash near Nara Visa late Thursday.  He was attempting to pass a semi-truck, crossing the double yellow lines of a no passing zone, on US 54 when he sideswiped an oncoming semi. 

 

Butler (8/7/67) was driving a Chevy Blazer east when he tried to pass an eastbound truck at about 11:15 pm.  He sideswiped a second semi that was traveling westbound.  Butler’s Blazer rolled several times throwing him from the SUV.

 

He was transported to Trigg Hospital in Tucumcari, where he was pronounced deceased.  Butler was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash.  Alcohol does not seem to be a factor in this wreck.

Should schools provide an additional fresh fruit and vegetable snack for elementary students during the day?
Yes. If we teach children early about healthy eating habits they are less likely to develop health problems.
No. The school's lunch program is already designed to provide a nutritious meal for our children and that is all they need.
Kids will just eat what they want.
