Republican Treasurer Charged in Fatal Crash

Republican Party Treasurer Kimberly Skaggs is facing felony charges after allegedly hitting a bicyclist and fleeing the scene of a fatal crash near Las Cruces. The 40-year-old victim died at the scene, and evidence including skid marks, debris, and surveillance footage led investigators to a Cadillac Escalade linked to Skaggs. Her vehicle, found at her property, showed damage consistent with a collision and contained traces of blood and tire sealant. Skaggs, 54, a former state legislative candidate and Republican Party leader, was arrested without legal counsel and removed from the party’s website. Her court date remains pending as authorities continue to investigate the incident on Fairacres Road. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
