Fire destroys GOP campaign bus
A fire has destroyed the campaign bus of Republican gubernatorial candidate Allen Weh, and New Mexico investigators are trying to determine the cause of the blaze.
Weh's campaign says the bus and several other vehicles were parked at a gated storage facility in Belen when the fire broke out late Friday. The flames engulfed the bus and the rest of the facility.
Twisted, charred metal and ashes are all that remain of the bus, which was known as "Freedom1." It was once wrapped in red, white and blue graphics and the words "Veterans for Allen Weh."
The loss of the bus and campaign materials inside has been pegged at around $250,000.
Authorities are continuing to investigate the blaze. A campaign spokesman says it hasn't been determined whether the bus will be replaced.
