IT MAY BE A MONTH BEFORE WE KNOW IF ROBERTO LUCERO WAS DRUNK WHEN HIS VEHICLE CROSSED THE MEDIAN ON COORS AND RAMMED ANOTHER CAR HEAD-ON. THE CRASH HAPPENED OVER THE WEEKEND AS 19 YEAR OLD JACOB SALAZAR WAS HEADING NORTHBOUND ON COORS. HE DIED ON THE WAY TO THE HOSPITAL. HE WAS A FRESHMAN AT U-N-M AND HAD GRADUATED FROM RIO GRANDE HIGH SCHOOL. LUCERO WAS ALSO BADLY INJURED AND IS BEING TREATED FOR HIS INJURIES. BCSO SAYS IT COULD TAKE ABOUT 30 DAYS BEFORE TOXICOLOGY TESTS ARE COMPLETE ON LUCERO. HE WILL FACE NUMEROUS CHARGES RELATED TO THE CRASH.
