Adrian Omar Narro, 48, of El Paso, was killed in a motorcycle crash early Sunday morning, February 1, 2026, after colliding with a Chevrolet Malibu on Lomaland Drive near Bengal Drive. Police confirmed he was ejected from his Harley-Davidson motorcycle upon impact and died at the scene.
The collision occurred at approximately 1:10 a.m. in the 1500 block of Lomaland Drive. Investigators said Narro was riding his 2007 Harley-Davidson northbound when a 2017 Chevrolet Malibu, driven by 26-year-old Austin Jacob Zubia, attempted a left turn into a parking lot. The vehicles collided in a T-bone crash, throwing Narro from his motorcycle.
Emergency responders arrived quickly but were unable to save Narro, who succumbed to his injuries at the scene. The driver of the Malibu was not injured in the crash. Police noted that Narro’s death marked the fourth traffic fatality in El Paso so far in 2026, matching the number of fatalities recorded at the same time in 2025.
The crash site, near Bengal Drive along Lomaland, is a busy corridor in East El Paso that connects residential neighborhoods with commercial areas. Residents in the area reported being startled by the sound of the collision and the heavy police presence that followed. The roadway was closed for several hours as investigators reconstructed the scene and collected evidence.
Police have not yet announced whether charges will be filed against the driver of the Malibu. The El Paso Police Department’s Special Traffic Investigations unit is handling the case, reviewing factors such as speed, visibility, and driver actions. Authorities emphasized that the investigation remains ongoing and urged drivers to exercise caution, particularly during late-night hours.
Narro’s death has left his family and community grieving. Friends described him as a hardworking man who loved motorcycles and was well-known among riders in the area. His passing underscores the dangers motorcyclists face on El Paso’s roads and has reignited calls for greater awareness and safety measures to protect vulnerable road users.
