On Saturday, July 3, 2010 Albuquerque police arrested thirty-two-year-old Rose Montano, a mother of two, who allegedly caused a three-car crash in New Mexico. When police questioned the drivers involved, two of them accused Montano, the third driver, of causing the Albuquerque car accident.
Albuquerque police continued questioning Montano regarding the crash and noticed that she smelled strongly of alcohol. When asked if she had been drinking, Montano answered, "I had two shots earlier." The police arrested Montano when she failed a field sobriety test. Montano will most likely face charges of driving while intoxicated.
During their questioning, police discovered that Montano's seven and five-year-old children were traveling with her in the back seat. Thankfully, the children were wearing seat belts and did not sustain life-threatening injuries. No information has been provided about the condition of the children at this time.
Rose Montano faces charges of child endangerment and a felony charge of child abuse.
Our thoughts are with the victims and the children involved in this New Mexico car crash. We hope everyone makes a safe and quick recovery.
