Los Lunas Rear End Accident

A Valencia County woman was taken to University of New Mexico hospital following serious injuries she suffered when involved in an accident with a construction vehicle. According to reports, the woman rear-ended the large truck on Highway 47. However, uncommon for such New Mexico car accidents, reports suggest that the woman is not responsible for the accident. Instead, police have indicated that the truck driver will be cited for failure to yield and improper equipment.

If officers conclude that the negligent driving or operation of the commercial vehicle was a cause of the car accident, then there may be a possible New Mexico truck accident claim against the driver’s employer and their insurance carrier. Such claims can be based entirely on the failure to properly load, secure, and warn when a commercial driver is involved in an accident.

Santa Fe Ambulance Accident

A Santa Fe ambulance was recently involved in a horrific accident involving a wrong way driver. The Santa Fe wrongful death accident occurred when an out-of-state driver traveling the wrong way on I-25 crossed into oncoming traffic and struck the ambulance head-on.

This Santa Fe car accident that shut down traffic for roughly 9 hours has already claimed the life of one individual while others are recovering from their injuries. Of particular note, authorities are focusing on the fact that the wrong way driver was from outside New Mexico. This has led investigating officers to question at the very least whether confusing signage or maintenance of the area could have contributed to the driver traveling the wrong direction.

Those involved in the accident, it could pose no risk that a possible New Mexico tort claim may exist as well as the typical car accident law.
