A Fourth of July New Mexico car accident turned deadly on Sunday night. Bernalillo County Police say the New Mexico head-on crash occurred northwest of Albuquerque around 6:30 p.m. near Rio Puerco on the frontage road of Interstate 40.
Reports indicated that the Ford Fusion driven by Alrejean Charley drove into the oncoming lane of traffic and crashed into the Honda Accord driven by Bernadette Chavez. Sadly, this fatal car accident left three dead.
Authorities identified the victims as Alrejean Charley and her brother Sparky Charley. The male victim from Chavez's vehicle was identified as her father, Remijio Baca. This car crash also left three others injured, but there are no reports on their conditions at this time.
The frontage road was closed down for several hours for police investigation and cleanup, but traffic on I-40 was not affected by this crash.
Bernalillo County Sheriffs Department are still investigating this crash, but recent reports show that open beer cans were found inside Charley's vehicle. Police believe alcohol was a factor in this deadly crash outside of Albuquerque.
Our condolences are with the victim's family and friends during this tragic time.
