UPDATE:

We were contacted by the family of the motorcyclist who was struck by the Lincoln SUV. According to the family, the crash was not fatal, but their loved one sustained critical, life-threatening injuries. The family also said they were informed by the Albuquerque Police Department that the SUV involved was a Lincoln Corsair, not a Lincoln Nautilus as identified in the Crime Stoppers bulletin.

Our reporting was based on information provided by Crime Stoppers, which receives vehicle descriptions and other investigative details from the Albuquerque Police Department (APD).

As we’ve previously reported, this isn’t the first instance where information released by the APD, either directly to the media or through Crime Stoppers, has inaccurately described a victim’s condition. In prior incidents, APD has reported that a victim had died when the individual was still alive. In other cases, APD stated that an injured person had been transported to a local hospital when the individual had actually died at the scene.

One recent example occurred following the June 27 triple shooting, when an APD Public Information Officer distributed a media alert stating that a victim had died. However, the victim was still alive at the time the alert was issued.

Following the conversation with the victim’s family, we immediately contacted Crime Stoppers to clarify two points: the victim’s condition and the exact model of the vehicle involved.

On July 4th, Crime Stoppers responded that the vehicle description included in the bulletin was provided by the APD detective who requested its publication. They added that they would follow up with the detective to verify the vehicle model and obtain additional details if available.
