A HEAD-ON CRASH TUESDAY MORNING ON HIGHWAY 66 CLAIMS THE LIFE OF A TIJERAS MAN. IT HAPPENED JUST AFTER 5AM BETWEEN CARNUEL AND TIJERAS. FIFTY-EIGHT YEAR OLD ROBERT GONZALES WAS KILLED WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE, DRIVEN BY A 23 YEAR OLD WOMAN, CROSSED THE CENTER LINE AND SLAMMED IN TO HIS S-U-V.
GONZALES DIED AT THE SCENE WHILE THE WOMAN WAS HOSPITALIZED WITH NON-LIFE THREATENING INJURIES. IT’S BELIEVED FATIGUE PLAYED A ROLE IN THE CRASH AND NO CHARGES HAVE BEEN FILED AT THIS TIME.
