Albuquerque, NM (January 12, 2025) – A vehicle crash near San Mateo Boulevard NE and Cherokee Road NE in Albuquerque early Saturday morning resulted in serious injuries. The Albuquerque Police Department (APD) and Albuquerque Fire Rescue responded to the scene shortly after midnight on January 11, 2025.

Preliminary investigations revealed that a grey 2003 Ford pickup truck was traveling northbound on San Mateo Boulevard in the center lane at a high rate of speed. The driver, suspected to be under the influence of alcohol, lost control of the vehicle, striking the east curb before rolling over. The car eventually came to rest right side up after colliding with a light pole.

Due to the severity of injuries sustained by the vehicle’s occupants, APD’s Fatal Crash Team was dispatched to investigate at approximately 2:00 a.m. Authorities are continuing to examine the circumstances surrounding the crash and are working to determine the full extent of the driver’s impairment.

Our thoughts are with those injured in this collision, and we extend our wishes for their recovery.
