Former GOP Treasurer Arrested in Fatal Hit-and-Run

A former Republican Party treasurer in New Mexico is now behind bars after allegedly fleeing the scene of a fatal hit-and-run that killed a 40-year-old cyclist. Kimberly Skaggs, 54, faces felony charges including leaving the scene of a fatal accident and tampering with evidence. Witnesses reportedly provided photos of her vehicle—a black Cadillac Escalade with front-end damage and blood splatter—leaving the crash site at high speed. Surveillance and license plate data corroborate the vehicle’s departure. Skaggs, who had a history of traffic violations, turned herself in after learning of an arrest warrant and denies all charges. Prosecutors seek jail time until trial and plan to present the case to a grand jury. The Republican Party has severed ties with her following the incident.
