Albuquerque –
On Sunday, March 16, we advised you of an accident involving a vehicle and a pedestrian. Around 9:10 PM, officers from the Albuquerque Police Department (APD) and Albuquerque Fire Rescue (AFR) responded to the crash scene near the intersection of Unser Blvd NW and Los Volcanes Rd NW.
Upon arrival, first responders found an unresponsive individual who was not breathing. AFR reportedly attempted life-saving measures, but pronounced the person dead at the scene.
At the time of the crash, police closed both directions of Unser Blvd between Los Volcanes Rd NW and I-40. Reportedly, authorities had also closed the exit ramp from eastbound I-40 to southbound Unser Blvd.
APD’s Fatal Crash Team promptly responded to the incident location and conducted a comprehensive investigation to determine the cause of the fatal crash.

This is one of the reasons why we need to bring back the death penalty, disregard for human life. They didn’t stop and render aid? Death penalty is what they deserve
DA will plead this down to leaving scene of accident. Unless person is under 25 and the da will most likely refuse to prosecute at all. Think I’m lying – the state voted down this asshole da plan to rewrite the juvenile code because he wants to charge people up to 25 years old as juvenile. Thus, when some 24 year old scumbag murders you the da wants a max of (8) years in jail. He also refuses to charge anyone under 25 with a second offense dui. Think I’m lying, I know a 24 year old on her (4th) first offense dui. I have an employee who has a second dui – her first one was at 32 and second one at 36. She has been charged full force both times – no previous dui before that.
Like I said. This is all your own faults for voting for this guy. At some point your retarded – esque childlike vote against my own self interest democrat being person needs to get your shit together.
Albuquerque, the dumbest people in America
