A RASH OF TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS IN ALBUQUERQUE SUNDAY. ONE WAS A ROLLOVER CRASH THAT OCCURRED WHEN A WOMAN LOST CONTROL OF HE JEEP WHEN IT BLEW A TIRE ON THE PASEO DEL NORTE BRIDGE OVER COORS. IT FLIPPED SEVERAL TIMES … THEN NEARLY FELL OFF THE BRIDGE. A MALE PASSENGER WAS TREATED FOR MINOR INJURIES, BUT THE WOMAN SUFFERED LIFE-THREATENING INJURIES. SHE WAS THROWN FROM THE VEHICLE, LANDING ABOUT 10 FEET FROM THE JEEP.
ANOTHER ACCIDENT AT 72ND STREET AND LADERA JUST BEFORE 10PM INVOLVED A PEDESTRIAN AND A MOTORCYCLE. ONE PERSON DIED IN THAT CRASH BUT POLICE HAVEN’T SAID WHETHER IT WAS THE DRIVER OR THE PEDESTRIAN.
TWO OTHER CRASHES SUNDAY ALSO INVOLVED MOTORCYCLES… ONE AT CENTRAL AND WASHINGTON AND THE OTHER AT COORS AND LADERA.
