A tragic accident occurred on I-25 in Las Cruces, New Mexico, on Monday evening, resulting in the death of a male passenger in a civilian vehicle. Deputies from the Doña Ana County Sheriff’s Office were responding to an urgent call involving a child’s injury around 6:26 p.m., with emergency lights and sirens activated. As the deputies traveled through the Las Alturas area, a slower-moving vehicle reportedly pulled onto the freeway in front of their patrol unit. The deputies’ vehicle subsequently collided with the civilian car, which was occupied by a male passenger and a female driver.
Emergency responders transported the deputies and the civilian driver to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Tragically, the male passenger was unresponsive at the scene and was later pronounced dead at the hospital. New Mexico State Police are conducting an investigation to determine the details of the crash. KFOX 14
