Albuquerque, NM - Constitution Ave Car Accident with Injuries

Albuquerque, NM (December 1, 2023) - At least one person was hurt following a vehicle collision in the Albuquerque area on Friday, December 1. At around 7:24 a.m., the accident took place at the 3701 block of Constitution Avenue NE. The crash victims were treated by attending medical personnel, and those requiring additional treatment were later hospitalized for further support. 

At this time, the number and severity of the resulting injuries have not been determined. The roadway was closed for several hours while emergency crews were present.

Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families at this time. We hope for their full recovery.

New Mexico Distracted Driving Crashes

Driver distraction is a quickly growing contributor to serious car accidents. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that in 2014, New Mexico ranked fifth nationally for reckless driving. Even more concerning, recent research suggests that driving while distracted may be equally dangerous as driving while intoxicated. In 2015, there were 21,894 recorded crashes in New Mexico that were caused by some degree of human error. Younger drivers are more prone to be distracted while operating a vehicle, and the age group of 20 to 24 accounted for the highest proportion of accident victims in 2015.
