New Mexico Tech
New Mexico Tech lost one of its students last weekend. Thomas Matthew Brooks, a sophomore electrical engineering student, died after he was involved in a one-car crash Saturday in Rio Rancho.
Brooks was in a car with four other teenagers when the crash occurred, according to Officer John Francis of the Rio Rancho police department.
Francis said five people were in a vehicle traveling on Unser Boulevard north of King Boulevard when the crash occurred at 10 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 9. Two people died as a result of injuries sustained in the crash.
The three other teens were taken to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Brooks matriculated at New Mexico Tech in the fall of 2008.
Francis said Monday that no other details about the crash are being released, pending the outcome of the police investigation.
University President Daniel H. Lopez extended his condolences to the Brooks’ family.
“New Mexico Tech is a small community and any time we lose a member of our community, the loss is especially hard on everyone,” he said. “Our thoughts and prayers are with Thomas’s family and friends.”
