Travis Edgar 53, and his wife Helena, 41, of 316 Madison NE, were killed in a two-car collision on West Central Ave. in Albuquerque early Thursday.

The driver of the westbound car, on Central, Manuel B. Morales, 30, of 406 Arno SE, told police he did not see the Edgars' car before impact.
Morales was taken to Presbyterian Hospital by Gold Cross ambulance and treated for cuts on his face and right leg. He was held for observation, and reported in good condition.
Upon impact, the Edgars' vehicle was knocked 110 feet west before striking a parked car, which was unoccupied. The Morales car continued west 170 feet after the collision.
