SOUTHBOUND I-25 AT AVENIDA CESAR CHAVEZ IN ALBUQUERQUE IS BACK OPEN … BUT IT WAS CLOSED TO TRAFFIC TUESDAY NIGHT BECAUSE OF A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT. APD SAYS A DRIVER LOST CONTROL ON THAT SECTION OF THE INTERSTATE, HIT A BARRIER, THEN SWERVED AND HIT ANOTHER BARRIER. HE WAS PARTIALLY EJECTED FROM THE VEHICLE.
POLICE STILL DON’T KNOW WHY THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL, BUT A DWI TEST WAS CONDUCTED. THE UNIDENTIFIED DRIVER IS HOSPITALIZED IN CRITICAL CONDITION. HE WAS NOT WEARING A SEAT BELT.
