SIERRA VISTA -- One of two motorcyclists killed over the weekend during the annual Laughlin River Run rally was a firefighter at the Army's Fort Huachuca.

Base officials say Lt. Larry Duane Faccio had been a Fort Huachuca firefighter since 1995. The 48-year-old Hereford resident was riding with friends from several Cochise County firefighting agencies when he was killed Sunday after another motorcyclist crossed into his lane and hit him head-on in Mohave County.

Faccio was riding with the Bisbee chapter of the Riders of Fire Motorcycle Club.

The other biker who died was 61-year-old Lake Havasu City resident Victor Guy Mattice.

They were among an estimated 60,000 to 65,000 enthusiasts participating in the biker rally. No other deaths were reported.
