Frightening Pedestrian Crash on Zuni Road Injures 1 [Albuquerque, NM]

Albuquerque, NM (January 13, 2025) — A vehicle–pedestrian crash on Zuni Road in Albuquerque sent a woman to the hospital Tuesday evening.

Officers with the Albuquerque Police Department responded around 5:55 p.m. to the 7300 block of Zuni Road near the intersection of Zuni Road and Louisiana Boulevard.

Albuquerque Fire Rescue Station 5 arrived shortly after to provide medical assistance.

The pedestrian remained conscious at the scene and was later transported by ambulance to a local hospital for further evaluation. Authorities reported that her injuries appeared non-life-threatening.

Police continued to investigate the incident, which may have caused temporary street closures in the surrounding area.

Traffic accidents can happen in the blink of an eye — but their effects can last a lifetime. Every time you get behind the wheel, remember: staying alert and making safe choices can save lives. Avoid distractions, never drive under the influence, and always wear your seatbelt. Follow speed limits, keep a safe distance from other vehicles, and watch out for pedestrians and cyclists who share the road with you.

Take that extra moment to look both ways and yield cautiously at intersections — sometimes, that one second of attention can prevent a serious or even life-threatening crash.

Pedestrian crashes often occur in busy corridors and intersections. Drivers should stay alert, slow down, and watch carefully for people crossing the roadway, while pedestrians are encouraged to use crosswalks and remain visible at all times.
