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.
