"Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding." The incident described in this Doors lyric occurred in what state?

Morrison was four at the time and his family lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Other than that, I'm not finding anything definite. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Morrison#Early_years Jul 18 07, 10:07 PM

New Mexico The defining moment of Jim Morrison’s childhood occurred on a desert stretch between Albuquerque and Santa Fe. The Morrison family stopped their car to witness “a very recent head-on collision between another car and a truck carrying some Pueblo or Hopi Indians” screaming in agonizing pain. Jim Morrison would later incorporate the image of Indians “scattered in dawn’s highway bleeding” in his poetry and music lyrics. The Indian car crash scene was a significant one in Morrison’s life for the reason that it was his first realization of death. Davis advocates that this scene led to the emergence of Morrison’s Lizard King persona—a persona that would dominate Morrison’s stage career. http://www.cercles.com/review/r22/davis.htm Jul 18 07, 10:50 PM

Morrison went on to say that he believed "One of those Indians were running around freaking out and leaped into his soul...and he's still there." Interesting enough neither of Morrison's parents ever remember the shocking incident occuring. Jul 18 07, 11:06 PM
