Albuquerque, NM – Major Injury Collision at Eubank Blvd & Central Ave

Albuquerque, NM (July 13, 2024) – At least one person suffered injuries following an auto accident in the Albuquerque area on Saturday, July 13. Early that morning around 4:57 a.m., the crash occurred at the corner of Eubank Boulevard NE and Central Avenue NE. Emergency responders were quickly dispatched to render aid to the involved parties, and ambulances were available to transport the crash victims to local hospitals for additional support. 

The roadway was temporarily shut down as emergency crews were present, and tow trucks were needed to remove the resulting debris and reopen the area to outside traffic. The circumstances leading to the collision have not been determined thus far, and no further updates have been provided. However, local authorities are handling the ongoing investigation into the cause of the crash.

Distracted Driving Accidents in New Mexico

We see drivers looking down at their phones on the road all the time, and according to recent surveys, a large percentage of drivers confess to using their phones while driving. New Mexico consistently tops the list of states in the United States for the number of distracted driving-related fatalities. Distraction can be just as bad as intoxication behind the wheel, and unfortunately, both are common in New Mexico. Approximately 40.75 percent of collisions reported in the state are the result of distracted driving. This number is almost five times greater than the 8.12 percent national average. If you or someone close to you is hurt in a crash, you need to be ready to pursue a strong claim for compensation with the help of a skilled legal team.
