State police say that officers patrolling the stretch near Tucumcari Saturday found that 40-year-old Henry Alan of El Paso had lost control of his sedan and crashed into a snow pile.

Then they noticed tracks leading back and forth from the trunk to the bridge.

They allege that partially hidden under the overpass were large plastic wrapped bundles and inside was 238 pound of marijuana.

Police say that Lowe was arrested and treated for a gash to the head.
