The pair were together in a car when the mom became angry with how her daughter was driving.
Lt. Andrea Dobyns told The Santa Fe New Mexican the two, "stopped their vehicle and got into an altercation that escalated to violence."
As the two fought, they rolled onto the highway where they were hit by a car and killed.
Passengers in the car told investigators the two women had been drinking before the fight.
Officers say the driver, “didn’t look like he did anything wrong.” Dobyns went on to confirm, “there is no sign of alcohol on his part. Speeding was not a factor.”
