Albuquerque – The Albuquerque Police Department’s Traffic Division is investigating an overnight fatal crash.
APD says that shortly after midnight, officers responded to a two-vehicle crash in the area of Paseo del Norte Blvd. and the I-25 southbound onramp. Through their investigation, the Fatal Crash Unit learned a gray Ford Focus was traveling westbound on Paseo del Norte and noticed headlights from a Honda approaching when the driver got to Jefferson Street.
The driver of the Ford tried to switch lanes as did the driver of the Honda who was traveling the wrong direction on Paseo and the two vehicles collided.
The passenger inside the Ford Focus was pronounced dead on scene and both drivers were taken to the hospital for their injuries.
The crash remains an ongoing investigation as the driver of the Honda did present signs of impairment.
