Perhaps a lesson in group riding...

New Mexico State police tell ABC-7 a group of about 25 bikers were driving up the highway when a red light at the intersection split them into two groups.

According to police some of the bikers in the first group pulled off to the side of the road to wait for the others.

Apparently one of those bikers tried to get back onto the highway but instead crashed into one of his friends and was killed.

Not knowing the specifics of what happened, and what the circumstances were, you can't really opine on what went wrong.

But with 25 bikes in a group, they shouldn't have all been riding together. It would have been better to split them into three groups, with each group about 1 or 2 minutes apart.
