ALBUQUERQUE, NM — One person was critically hurt late Thursday night when their all-terrain vehicle collided with a sport utility vehicle in southwest Albuquerque, reports KOB4.
The accident occurred in the area of 98th Street Southwest and Tower Road. Albuquerque Police responded to the scene at about 11:00 p.m.
According to authorities, a driver in an SUV was attempting to make a left turn onto Tower Road from 98th Street. As the SUV turned, its right-front fender was struck by the ATV, causing both ATV riders to eject.
